that this omission was more of an editorial decision relating to the book, rather than the professional and personal viewpoints of its contributors. Nevertheless, bringing to light the difficult aspects of the participatory design work would at least provide some guidance and encouragement to those who are stuck in a process gone wrong. Design as democracy: techniques for collective creativity makes a timely contribution to the discussion about democratic and place-based community building. The book’s message that even small-scale participatory efforts can have transformative potentials is delivered in a way that will resonate even with a general audience. The variety of stories and techniques discussed keeps the content fresh from the first to last pages. However, without some critical and theoretical reflections, there is a risk that the message of urgency the book is aiming to deliver may not resonate as widely as it could and should.
