Nabeel Hamdi's new book The Placemakers' Guide to Building Community (ISBN 978-1-84407-803-5) published by Earthscan is a very useful book which should be on the shelves of every person involved in building communities and the art of development practices. The outside back cover has a number of short statements which reveal that Nabeel has made a place for himself at the pinnacle of participatory planning and “.….has masterfully woven together notions of place making that have evolved since John Turmer's book, Housing by People, into a new paradigm for professional practice” says Bish Sanyal, Ford International Professor of Urban Development and Planning at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.”
