About this title

Synopsis

This unique book describes how average citizens can take the lead in preserving the character of their communities. It not only describes what to do but how to do it to achieve success.

About the Author

Alfred J. Lima is a professional planner who has practiced for municipalities and as the principal of his own planning consulting firm. His interest in preserving community character has evolved from his years of experience in general planning, open space protection and historic preservation. He has always been interested in the issue of why some communities seem able to preserve their character and others do not and decided to write this book to answer that question. His professional experience and the lessons he learned as a community activist gives him a unique perspective on how citizens can make government work to preserve communities.
