Abstract

Probably no other issue is as vital to the success of solving America's urban crisis as the viable participation of urban residents in planning the neighborhoods and cities in which they live and the social programs which directly effect them. City dwellers are demanding to be heard. They want in - they want to help control - not only indirectly through their elected representatives in the councils of central government, but also on the block and neighborhood level. Using the Union Sarah Economic Development Corporation (U.S.E.D.C.) as an example, this thesis will examine the roles of citizen participation in community planning. In conclusion, this thesis will present a guide on planning tools and methods. This guide will be a serious effort for understanding the planning process and for facilitating the community's work in rehabilitating its neighborhood. Copies of this thesis will be available to U.S.E.D.C. and Union Sarah Community Corporation (U.S.C.C.) workers.
