Contents:

Preface. James's story : the personal roots of place it! -- John's story : a planner's search for new tools -- Forget what you know about engagement -- Learning to plan through play -- The heart of engagement : introducing South Colton -- Hands on! -- Pop up! -- Use your senses! -- Outcomes : they're not just buildings anymore -- Conclusion: Play more, talk less.

Summary: In Dream Play Build, they share their insights into building common ground and inviting active participation among diverse groups. Their approach, “Place It!,” draws on three methods: the interactive model-building workshop, the pop-up, and site exploration using our senses. Using our hands to build and create is central to what makes us human, helping spark ideas without relying on words to communicate. Deceptively playful, this method is remarkably effective at teasing out community dreams and desires from hands-on activities. Dream Play Build offers wisdom distilled from workshops held around the world, and a deep dive into the transformational approach and results from the South Colton community in southern California. While much of the process was developed through in-person meetings, the book also translates the experience to online engagement--how to make people remember their connections beyond the computer screen.
