Love where you live : creating emotionally engaging places
(Book)

"Following the widespread success of For the Love of Cities, this book builds upon that central premise that love of place matters, with more examples from all over the wold and practical steps that community leaders, both official and unoffical, might use to kick start the process in their city. This book explores how to build networks of co-creators, how to allay community fears, how to deal with naysayers and bad news, how to find your authentic identity and how little bits of funding can be instrumental in creating big changes." -- Back cover.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 147-152) and index.
