This title offers practical guidance for municipal officials, and others working in urban development and poverty reduction, on the range of issues to be addressed in planning and managing cities with community participation.

Provides a source of information on the issues, including constraints and capacity building, necessary to implement participatory approaches in China. It is suitable for development practitioners, donors, researchers and students seeking to understand the opportunities and constraints for participation in China.
