Across the country and around the world, communities are taking back control of their neighborhoods, challenging top-down urban planning, and shaping development from the ground up. The People's Plan explores the power of grassroots movements in transforming cities through innovative land-use strategies, cooperative housing, environmental justice, and equitable investment.

Through compelling case studies—such as participatory budgeting in Brazil, community land trusts in the U.S., and urban farming in Detroit—this book showcases real-world successes where residents, not developers, are leading urban change. It provides a roadmap for community organizers, policymakers, and advocates to build sustainable, people-centered cities by leveraging policy advocacy, financial models, and digital tools.

My book also includes a Practical Toolkit for Community Organizers, offering step-by-step guidance on coalition-building, securing funding, policy engagement, and effective public advocacy.

Whether you are an activist fighting displacement, a planner seeking more inclusive strategies, or a resident determined to protect your neighborhood, The People's Plan provides actionable insights and tools to build a more just and community-driven future.
