Neighbor Power: Building Community the Seattle Way

by Jim Diers

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Providing concrete examples for citizens and government officials, Diers describes a successful program to support community self-help projects and a community-driven planning process that involved 30,000 people.

Book News Annotation:

Building on the lessons of early labor leaders, civil rights volunteers, and political activists, Diers, a liaison to Seattle communities for the University of Washington Office of Partnerships, has developed his own models and strategies for community development. He offers real-life examples of how to build active, creative neighborhoods, with practical lessons in participatory democracy for ordinary citizens who want to make a difference. B&w photos of real community self-help projects in Seattle are included.
