To interrogate the theme of community participation in the context of
urban regeneration initiatives, we focused on a series of interrelated
questions:
- How is power generated within the project/process, how is it
distributed, does it diffuse across all partners or are some more
powerful than others, what are the limits to the diffusion of power
in community participation?
- Are urban regeneration structures set up in such a way as to
make community engagement real and participatory, or are they set up
for token participation only?
- Time is a significant resource in making connections in a
neighbourhood, building up trust, generating mobilisation, etc. What
kind of time cycle should be borne in mind in creating a template
for optimal community participation? At what point is it
possible/desirable for a regeneration agency to disengage from a
project? (The latter point dovetails with the concerns of the
mainstreaming group)
- What are the best methods for reaching people, maximising
participation and getting the range of actors in the neighbourhood
to take part? What kinds of methodologies and instruments have
succeeded in what contexts? What kinds of methodologies and
instruments have failed in what contexts?
