But on balance, I would argue that it has a great deal to offer. Let me very quickly give you a sense of where I come from, because obviously it is important here to establish some framework for one's point of view.

Our final report makes a strong case for public participation ? early, energetic, and eclectic. Second, I have served as the lead person on a number of substantial urban real estate developments that were accompanied by all of the complex preliminaries that are a way of life today: environmental impact statements, zoning hearings, citizens' advisory committees, uncounted neighborhood meetings, interest subsidy arrangements and mortgage guarantees from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and almost inevitably, a harrowing time schedule.
