Este libro, realizado para la celebración de los primeros 75 años de la Escuela de Graduados de Diseño de la Universidad de Harvard, presenta técnicas y métodos utilizados para enfrentar los retos de diseño e interacción de las sociedades contemporáneas en las ciudades.

Extracto:

“The mainstream of planning, at least in the West, has become increasingly modest since the days when Daniel Burnham urged the profession to “make no Little plans”. Negotiation and mediation have become watchwords of believers in communicative planning. The movement to limit the role of planners is an understandable response to the top-down, authoritarian planning typical of the days of urban renewal. Then, government planners ruthlessly moved people out of their homes and communities to make way for institutions, office buildings, highways, and luxury apartments. Communicative planning, by seeking to involve all stakeholders in the determination of land uses, derives from a democratic ideal and aspires to créate planning that does not exclude the interest of society’s disadvantaged”.

“La corriente principal de la planificación, por lo menos en Occidente, se ha hecho cada vez más profunda desde que Daniel Burnham instó a la profesión a “no hacer planes pequeños”. Negociación y mediación se han convertido en santo y seña de los creyentes en la planificación comunicativa. El movimiento para limitar el papel de los planificadores es una respuesta comprensible de arriba hacia abajo, la planificación autoritaria típica de la época de la renovación urbana. Luego, los planificadores del gobierno sin piedad movieron a la gente de sus hogares y comunidades, para dar paso a las instituciones, edificios de oficinas, carreteras y departamentos de lujo. La planificación comunicativa busca la participación de todos los interesados en la determinación de los usos de la tierra, derivando de un ideal democrático y aspirando a crear la planificación que no excluye la inclusión de los grupos desfavorecidos de la sociedad”
