Table of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction; Chapter 2 Community Part Icipation in Theory and Practice; Chapter 3 Local Politics in Haringey; Chapter 4 Institutional Perspectives on Community Part Icipation; Chapter 5 Spatial Inequality and Community Planning Elites; Chapter 6 Community Activism, Localism and Anti-Municipalism; Chapter 7 Community Capacity, Regeneration and Neighbourhood Renewal; Chapter 8 Lessons for the Big Society;Reviews'This important book illustrates the impacts of successive government policies to engage communities. These are explored through experiences of planning and regeneration in Haringey, North London - itself a microcosm of wider social divisions and spatial inequalities. Despite decades of policy initiatives, the voices of less advantaged communities were still not being heard effectively, in comparison with the voices of more advantaged residents, in leafier parts of the borough. As this topical book concludes, there are key lessons here in relation to the current policy context.' Marjorie Mayo, Goldsmiths, London, UK 'The authors have created a fascinating, detailed, well referenced view of a council coping with massive issues, giving us all vital lessons and insights, whether you're signed up to the Big Society or not!' New Start 'The semistructured interviews conducted for these studies, combined with a further series conducted in 2010, provide a rich and engaging data set for reflection on Haringey's experiences and the project of community engagement more generally.' Local Economy 'Dillon and Fanning provide a nuanced account of both the implications and underlying assumptions of policy to promote citizen engagement. Their observations are, I would suggest, highly relevant when considering different models of participation, particularly in the context of inequality and regeneration efforts. Despite the study's narrow focus on Haringey, the characteristics of the borough mean the findings seem quite broadly generalisable.' Urban Policy and Research 'This is a gem of a book and well worth reading. I was totally gripped by the unfolding story and analysis of community participation in planning in Haringey. The analysis is supported by reams of evidence, illustrated by clearly narrated case studies with well-balanced discussion.'
