Query: In Need of Updating

This book offers good advice to local community groups, but it is in need of a serious update. Although it is targeted to grassroots groups, it is often used by people in planning practice. Given the juvinile content of the book, and the limited consideration of current methodological standards and technology, it could result in a marginalization of citizens groups and practical planning efforts directed at them. Why do so many authors of these types of books think that citizens are stupid? Why do so many authors of these types of books think that freehand drawings are common in the urban planning profession? Why do so many authors of these books give examples of bad survey methodology to citizens? Obviously they don't understand that citizens are smart, and they are capable of presenting cogent proposals to public officials. Unfortunately, this book doesn't expose citizens to the techniques to make that possible.
