Summary:
"The key to fixing our broken patterns of
urban
development does not lie in grand plans or giant projects; rather, it lies in the collective wisdom and energy of people harnessing the power of many
small
ideas and actions to make a big difference.
We
call this

change
. In an increasingly complex and changing world where global problems are felt locally, the systems
we
use to plan, design, and build our
urban
neighborhoods are failing. For three generations, governments the world over have tried to order and control the evolution of cities through rigid, top-down action. Yet, master plans lie unfulfilled, housing is in crisis, the environment is under threat, and the
urban
poor have become poorer. The system is not broken: it was built this way. And governments alone cannot solve these problems. But there is another way--the
Massive
Small
way--a concept developed by Kelvin Campbell, the innovative founder of
Urban
Initiatives, an internationally recognized
urban
design practice based in London, and curator of Smart Urbanism [
Massive
Small
], one of the largest LinkedIn communities in the field of online urbanism"--From publisher.
