In recent years' many countries all over Europe have witnessed a demand for a more direct form of democracy, ranging from improved clarity of information to being directly involved in decision-making procedures. Increasingly, governments are putting citizen participation at the centre of their policy objectives, striving for more transparency, to engage and empower local individuals and communities to collaborate on public projects and to encourage self-organisation.

This book addresses three specific lines of enquiry: how can design, social media and technology inspire and empower citizens to engage with practices of civic participation, how can we ensure that these practices are sustainable and relevant within a diverse range of socio-economic contexts, and finally how can the impact be documented and evaluated? Aimed at researchers and academics in the fields of urban planning and participatory design, this book includes contributions from a range of experts across Europe including the UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, Denmark, Austria, Spain, France and Finland.
