A research team from the United States has completed an examination
of citizen participation experiments in seven European countries.
The team included Donald Appleyard, Marc Draisen, David Godschalk,
Chester Hartman, Janice Perlman, Hans Spiegel, John Zeisel, and
ourselves. This book is a product of our joint efforts. Our studies
are aimed at summarizing and sharing what can be learned from
recent European efforts to enhance the effectiveness of local
government through increased public involvement in the organization
and management of public services and urban redevelopment. Almost a
year was spent assembling the team, developing a shared framework
for analysis and identifying appropriate case study cities.
European and American public officials and citizen activists helped
us assess the potential impact of such a study on current practice.
A second year was spent visiting the European cities and preparing
the case-study drafts. Finally, team members gathered in
Washington, D. C., with fifty American and European public
officials, citizen activists, and scholars. A two-day symposium
provided an exciting opportunity to present preliminary research
findings and encourage an exchange of ideas between researchers,
activists, and policymakers. The final versions of the case studies
that appear in this book, along with several commentaries by
symposium participants, are written especially for city officials
and citizen activists. We have tried to translate the results of
our scholarly inquiry into pragmatic suggestions for officials and
activists."
