Abstract
Corburn's Street Science: Community Knowledge and Environmental Health Justice (MIT Press, 2005) represents a major contribution to our understanding of how usable knowledge is generated in communities. The book is destined to become a classic not only because it provides such rich ethnographic insight into how this happens, but also because it develops a theoretical framework for negotiating and coproducing expertise among citizens and professionals that has important implications for democratic theory, as well as planning practice and institutional capacity building for collaborative governance.
