Autonomous Development: Humanising the Landscape:An Excursion into Radical Thinking &

Raff Carmen starts from the conviction that development is too important to be left to the developers. He critically examines what has gone on under its name, finding it wanting both as an epistemological category and a sound operational practice. Instead, he presents a counter-view of development as an act of creation whereby people exercise their inalienable right to invent their own future, as authors of an ongoing process of transforming and humanising the landscapes they inhabit.
