Description

Building Commons and Community presents 45 years of legacy in creating neighborhood spaces for communities. In this richly illustrated hardcover book, Karl Linn shares his philosophies and practical wisdom to help people use the resources they find in their surroundings to create welcoming shared spaces. Linn's work has inspired community design centers and initiatives that bring together professional designers and neighborhood activists to strengthen communities. This book features colorful photo-essay case studies of projects that showcase the creativity and ingenuity of working-class citizens, students, and volunteer professionals who transformed derelict or unused property into vibrant community commons. With an extensive addendum of resources for creating community commons, this book provides inspiration and guidance for those who wish to collaborate to build stronger communities.
