This hands-on guide introduces a community design lens to help both architects and community-led organisations collaborate effectively on projects with long-term public benefit. If you are part of a community-led organisation, this toolkit will also help you get the most out of working with an architect. This must-have book sets out a flexible framework to build shared language, navigate complexity and co-create from the very start. It explores the history and policy of community ownership, governance models, funding, pro bono work and how design can be woven into wider operational and business planning. Emphasising trust, dialogue and genuine collaboration, it is packed with real-world case studies and deals with issues from accessibility and heritage to resilience, identity and safety. With clear guidance, templates and checklists, it shows how architects can support fundraising, long-term stewardship and stakeholder engagement. This is essential reading for architects and community groups working together to create lasting, meaningful places: a practical toolkit for architects and communities reimagining places together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mandip Sahota,Stefanie Stead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1915722586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915722584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Riba Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Mandip Sahota","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742198116607,"sku":"9781915722584","price":48.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/designing-community-spaces-mandip-sahota-9781915722584","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
