“…Citizen participation is considered a part of broader community engagement, which aims to strengthen social relationship networks in localities, to empower residents for self-management of communities, and to expand local autonomy in cities (Colantonio and Dixon, 2011;Ledwith, 2011;Gilchrist and Taylor, 2016). Although citizen participation is expected to help communities in identifying and addressing problems in their immediate living environment, a question remains to what extent residents can develop their own agendas through participatory planning.…”

“…Citizen participation can play a crucial role in building more inclusive and sustainable cities. Involvement of residents in decision making is recognized as an important instrument to improve the living environment in localities, as well as to strengthen local autonomy (Irvin and Stansbury, 2004;Callahan, 2007;Ledwith, 2011;Gilchrist and Taylor, 2016). Citizen participation is considered the cornerstone of a more effective and responsive urban governance as well as of localized social sustainability agenda (Manzi et al, weak, depending on the strong state, which controlled, co-opted and often suppressed grassroots mobilization (Ganesan, 2002;Koh and Ooi, 2004;Noh and Tumin, 2008;Jeong, 2012;Kim and Lee, 2015;Kim, 2017;Kim and Jeong, 2017).…”

Cities in East Asia are faced with growing social, economic and environmental risks. National and local governments are, hence, looking for novel policies that could improve the long-term capacity of cities to address these risks more comprehensively and effectively. Citizen participation and neighbourhood improvement are both considered playing a key role in building more inclusive and sustainable cities. This article compares the transformation of Samdeok Maeul in Seoul and Tampines in Singapore to better understand the importance of citizen participation in planning the neighbourhood improvement, and its consequences on urban development in general. Both cases represent a similar shift from previous state-led towards participatory planning. The research follows a case-oriented qualitative approach. The authors conducted in-depth interviews with major stakeholders, participant observation, expert workshops, and review of secondary resources. The research findings suggest that in both cases the residents were able to affect neighbourhood improvement through community engagement in the planning process. At the same time, the research findings imply that the state remains largely in control over the process, which indicates the challenges that need to be considered in order to empower communities in Seoul and Singapore in the long run.

“…However, while it is mentioned that inequity is a consequence of structural and economic factors [83] and therefor results in a "deeply seated problem of involving the most marginalised and deprived (...) communities" [70] the impact of these factors on the individual in a given community remains undiscussed. Although the distribution of prerequisites for individual participation (as mentioned earlier in the text) are equally affected by these inequities.…”

The unequal distribution of costs and benefits of the energy transition is a challenge for energy justice and energy policy. Although the empowerment of consumers to participate in renewable energy communities (RECs) has great potential for a just energy transition, vulnerable consumers remain underrepresented in RE projects. The recast of the European renewable energy directive obliges the European Member States to facilitate the participation of vulnerable consumers and support their inclusion in its “enabling framework” for prosumership. However, the type and specific design of corresponding measures remains unclear. Against this background this article investigates consumer empowerment in a vulnerability context. In particular we stress the need to understand how vulnerability affects participation in RECs to inform both policy makers and practitioners on its specificities and restrictions for the “enabling framework”. To prevent the inclusion of vulnerable consumers in RECs from remaining an idea on paper lawmakers need to be made aware of the implications for a consistent “enabling framework”. We argue that both individual vulnerable consumers as well as RECs need incentives and support to boost RECs’ capacity to include groups that until now remain underrepresented.

“…However, this approach should not be castigated as another attempt to reshape and or assimilate the Roma for as this article will outline ICD is asset based. It builds on existing skills and cultural practices, is community driven but is also upskilling (Craig et al 2011;Gilchrist and Taylor 2011). It is a form of mobilisation that comes from the grassroots and is organic and centred upon a community's concerns and uses these as the building blocks for organisation.…”
