Area-based initiatives and urban democracy
Area-based initiatives (ABIs) set out to improve livability and living conditions in disadvantaged urban neighborhoods by making use of extensive citizen participation.

This paper takes a different perspective. We follow the ‘systemic turn’ in dem…

This article examines the dynamics of such handling of input from citizen participation in three different cases linked to an area-based initiative in Oslo, Norway. The study shows tha…
