This book highlights the citizens' continuous participation in a
wide range of urban affairs, especially outside institutional
frameworks. It brings together an interdisciplinary team of French,
British and American academics who examine the long and rich
history of participation or partnership in British and American
urban life (with additional reference to France), showing that both
private interests and community groups have long been involved in
local policies. Utilizing the concept of governance as the main
theoretical framework, the book explores how Western governments
and local authorities have negotiated the difficult task of
defining the borders between the territories of private and public
actors and also in defining the boundaries of state intervention
and public interest. Focusing on the blurring of these boundaries,
this book presents a re-examination of how cities were developed,
both past and present.
