Abstract

Today, communication between planners and different stakeholders should be an integral part of participatory urban planning. In many cases, technologies supporting participation have been developed for the wider public separately from the existing ways of involvement, and even outside the planning context. In this paper, we report on three planning experiments that revealed a close connection between Web-based public participation and a group of key stakeholders involved in the planning. The results discussed in the paper give rise to hypothesize that the challenges of developing Web-based participation for the wider public can be overcome by tighter links between the technology development and actions of the key stakeholders.
