Reviews'Wise, insightful and thoroughly grounded in the complex realities of planning practice, Making Better Places will be read with pleasure by practicing planners everywhere. It will also be ideal for the classroom and I recommend it very highly - and intend to use it myself - for both undergraduate and graduate courses.' - Karen Christensen, Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of City and Regional Planning, University of California, Berkeley, USA 'This major new text by one of the world's most influential planning scholars provides a rich set of examples of how planning has made places better and a striking argument for the relevance of the progressive, egalitarian aims of what she calls the planning project.' Susan Fainstein, Harvard University, USA 'What goes on in cities is crucial to the human condition and the future of our planet and there is much there that needs to be fixed - and urgently. This visionary, hopeful and pragmatic book offers a manifesto for liveable, sustainable cities for the many, not just the few, and an impassioned plea for the role of planning in achieving this' - Ash Amin, Durham University, UK 'A wonderful book and essential reading for anyone who wants to revitalise planning. Patsy Healey underlines the significance of inclusive thinking and deliberative practices in creating places that are more liveable and more sustainable.'
