Spatial Renewal and Lost Voices
The deliberation that precedes or runs alongside the remaking of cities, buildings, and landscapes seems almost by default to generate situations with unsatisfied stakeholders, neglected citizen groups, or completely ignored voices. What does it mean to find, listen, and respond to those concerned by the alteration of built environments? Here, in this paper, citizen participation, its ideological and political intentions, as well as its formal integration in planning, is discussed in relation to cases with a significantly broad range as far as both geographical location and cultural conditions are concerned. The cases—from India, Australia, Jordan, and Sweden—reflect highly different histories and political circumstances, but these cases, regardless of the type of planning and construction culture, do still collectively reflect the problem of what “right to the city” means. This essay points out threats to democratic rights, such as deliberate omittance of groups, unfair grouping of opinions, and informal official planning actions. It is discussed here how these threats become ethical and factual problems in dialogue, and in a final reflection, what could be seen as needed for dialogues to work. The overall statement—in this short survey that builds on previous studies and reflections of the four cases—is that “extended dialogic thinking” is a way forward. For that to appear, reciprocal, multimodal, consolidated, and durable attention should characterize the dialogic act and its different phases.
