“A very human take on how cities get built”
ArchNewsNow.com features an interview with Barbara about the challenges of public process and her book, Designing Public Consensus.
The author of the article, Kenneth Caldwell, offers his assessment of Barbara’s book:
Although it looks like a textbook, it doesn’t read like one. Each case study comes alive with her accessible and engaging narrative. Faga has accomplished something few else have tried: a readable guide through the city planning process. Although she is a principal in a large international planning firm, she has avoided writing a promotional tract; instead, she chose to reveal challenges, missteps, and even mistakes. This is not a coffee-table book. It’s a very human take on how cities get built.
