520    How can we design places that fulfill urgneeds of the 
       community, achieve environmental justice, and inspire long
       -term stewardship? By bringing community members to the 
       table, we open up the possibility of exchanging ideas 
       meaningfully and transforming places powerfully. 
       Collaboration like this is hands-on democracy in action. 
       It's up close. It's personal. For decades, participatory 
       design practices have helped enliven neighborhoods and 
       promote cultural understanding. Yet, many designers still 
       rely on the same techniques that were developed in the 
       1950s and 60s. These approaches offer predictability, but 
       hold waning promise for addressing currand future design 
       challenges. Design as Democracy: Techniques for Collective
       Creativity is written to reinvigorate democratic design, 
       providing inspiration, techniques, and case stories for a 
       wide range of contexts. Edited by six leading 
       practitioners and academics in the field of participatory 
       design, with nearly 50 contributors from around the world,
       Design as Democracy shows how to design with communities 
       in empowering and effective ways. The flow of the book's 
       nine chapters reflects the general progression of 
       community design process, while also encouraging readers 
       to search for ways that best serve their distinct needs 
       and the culture and geography of diverse places. Each 
       chapter presents a series of techniques around a theme, 
       from approaching the initial stages of a project, to 
       getting to know a community, to provoking political change
       through strategic thinking. Readers may approach the book 
       as they would a cookbook, with recipes open to 
       improvisation, adaptation, and being created anew. Design 
       as Democracy offers fresh insights for creating meaningful
       dialogue between designers and communities and for 
       transforming places with justice and democracy in mind.
