Summary: "Hank Dittmar, urban planner, friend of artists and creatives, sometime rancher, "high priest of town planning" to the Prince of Wales, believed in letting small things happen. Looking at the global cities of the world, he saw a crisis of success, with gentrification and global capital driving up home prices in some cities, while others decayed for lack of investment. In DIY City, Dittmar explains why individual initiative, small-scale business, and small development matter, with lively stories from his own experience and examples from recent history. Dittmar's timely response to the challenges many cities face today, is to make Do-It-Yourself the norm rather than the exception, by removing the barriers to small-scale building and local business. The message of DIY City can offer hope to anyone who cares about cities"-- Provided by publisher.
