Participation for Transformation

Published in November 2023, the collected volume "Participation for Transformation" provides a comprehensive overview of citizen participation in urban settings. Blending theoretical concepts with practical insights from five pilot cities, it offers in-depth perspectives on key issues of sustainable urban development – ranging from resilience and climate adaptation to sustainable mobility and digitalization. Readers will discover concepts, innovative approaches, and case studies to actively participate in shaping the future of cities and to promote the transformation of their own urban environments. Whether you are involved in politics, academia, or urban planning, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone passionate about the future of cities. It serves as a guide for creating more inclusive, effective, and resilient urban communities.

This publication is part of the "Zukunftsstadt Goes Europe" program, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The program's goal is knowledge exchange and transfer on current research topics in sustainable urban development.

Available as Open Access through the University and State Library of Münster or as Print on Demand via Bookmundo, this book is essential for anyone working or researching at the intersection of urban development and citizen participation.
