Description
This lecture will be about the potential of the use of dialogue and participation as communication and collaboration strategies with citizens in urban/rural planning and related research. First, it will give an overview of urban planning theories about communicative governance strategies and co-creation as communication and collaboration strategies with citizens (i.e., collaborative governance). Then, the focus will be on recent experiences with Participatory Action Research as a tool to contribute to inclusive neighbourhood renewal and increasing liveability. Also, it will give insights in how synergy can be created between different knowledge systems of both professionals (specialistic expertise) and citizens (holistic experiential knowledge) through deliberation and how this can lead to more creative and inclusive solutions. There will be plenty of room for reflection, also how the presented approaches may apply to other professional and research fields than urban planning.
