Enhancing local democracy and empowering communities in decision-making are top priorities of European political agendas. However, the abundance and heterogeneity of existing examples of inclusive practices have provoked an ongoing debate on the implications and outcomes that deliberation might generate under specific conditions. Among these practices, urban regeneration is usually welcomed as a vehicle for engaging communities in public decision-making; nevertheless, the specific participative settings designed to implement those programs tend to generate peculiar communicative dynamics, which can in turn lead to unexpected results. The specific manner in which participation is set up by local governments does influence empowerment results. This hypothesis is verified through a cross-case comparison of two neighbourhood regeneration initiatives in Copenhagen and Milan. The empirical results show to what extent issue-centred and structural models of participation differ in terms of the institutional devices they adopt, the type of participants, the nature of the controversies occurring, and the empowerment outcomes. Furthermore, participatory settings tend to reproduce institutionalized practices of interaction between third-sector agencies, voluntary associations and public authorities. Specifically, consolidated third-sector regimes in Denmark and Italy tend to influence the devices that their local governments adopt in order to engage local civil society. Résumé L'amélioration de la démocratie locale et de la participation des communautés locales dans les processus de décision sont des priorités dominantes et rhétoriques des agendas politiques dans les villes Européennes. Cependant, la grande quantité et hétérogénéité des exemples des pratiques participatives provoquent un débat continu sur la façon effective de conduire la participation autant que sur les résultats qu'elle pourrait porter dans des conditions spécifiques. La façon de construire et de structurer la participation par les gouvernements locaux influence les résultats finaux de la participation locale. Les processus participatifs spécifiquement créés pour la mise en œuvre des deux programmes de renouvellement urbain au Danemark et en Italie sont examinés sur la base de la distinction conceptuelle entre structures et résultats. Les modèles de participation structurelle et problème-centrée se distinguent sur la base des dispositifs institutionnels adoptés, le type de participants, la nature des controverses produites et des résultats participatifs. De l'autre coté, les processus participatifs montrent la tendance à reproduire les pratiques institutionnalisées d'interaction entre le secteur tertiaire, les associations volontaires et les autorités publiques; la structuration du secteur tertiaire dans chaque pays tend à marquer clairement les structures adoptées par les gouvernements locaux pour intégrer la société civile
