New Publication by Terra Nostra Press!
Just in time for World CLT Day, the Center for CLT Innovation announced the publication of a brand new book by Terra Nostra Press, Community Matters: Conversations with Reflective Practitioners about the Value and Variety of Resident Engagement in CLTs.
The practitioners featured in the present volume epitomize the persistence of this commitment to community - and its complexity. Working with CLTs in Boston, Brussels, Houston, London, and San Juan, they have championed a variety of strategies for giving residents an active voice in planning and development. They have also changed strategies when needed. The stories of these experienced practitioners explore the whys and ways of keeping "community" alive in organizations like theirs. They offer a virtual master class in resilient resident engagement.
