A community development process oriented toward involving the public is encouraged, but the details of public participation have been more recommended than prescribed. City authorities have used a variety of techniques to seek public participation, ranging from public hearings and appointed citizen advisory committees to local neighborhood elections of representatives for community development decisionmaking. Birmingham, Alabama chose the localized electoral method of citizen participation. The Birmingham plan is evaluated every two years, and an important part of this evaluation is citizen review of neighborhood boundaries. As a result of regular review, citizens have an opportunity to determine by boundary definition the racial and class compositions of their own neighborhoods. The current study assesses the effect of citizen definition of neighborhood planning areas on the level of segregation in the communities
