"The Great Neighborhood Book" by  Jay Walljasper

The Great Neighborhood Book explains how any community can be improved, not by vast infusions of cash or by the government, but by the people who live there. Through real-life stories, this book addresses such challenges as comfort, safety, and economic vitality. Offering compelling evidence of how people in communities have enhanced their own neighborhoods through “Placemaking,” this exciting guide offers examples that show the magic that happens when individuals motivate others.

​Placemaking: The Art and Practice of Building Communities
by
Lynda H. Schneekloth 

Addresses the current need for design professionals (placemakers) to work with constituents in creating space. Provides excellent advice to help designers understand the human requirements which are at the core of their profession. The authors share four narratives of placemaking in action. These stories demonstrate how placemakers have worked with people to plan a new church building, coordinate neighborhood development in a small city and assist the facility managers in a large banking institution.
