Abstract
Question of public involvement in urban development processes
grows to be among the major contemporary issues of new
urban governance. Local powers, traditionally based on the elected
bodies (the council and the mayor) is recently being challenged
by growing, often unstructured and informal urban movements.
New powers have been renegotiating supremacy relations, often
using social media and digital tools. The same time digital tools
are used by municipalities to expand public participation. Direct
participation in urban management evolve to be a basic civic
right, but it is seldom correlated with responsibilities and consequences
of common, especially digital, decisions. New apps
and programs create many opportunities for public participation,
but social media often lack broader consideration, compromise
and conciliation. Simplistic digital participation can
be easily fuelled by internet ignorance, expertise relativism or
‘balanced routine’.
