The aim of the course is to get familiar with the issues of participatory planning and processes for the sustainable development of both the city and the region. The course focuses on the processes of shaping participatory processes and their role in spatial planning. The main theories of spatial planning are analyzed and their associations with participatory processes (systemic view, rational and comprehensive planning, communicative planning, etc.) are presented over time, (b) the identity crisis of the spatial planning and the new evolutionary approaches for the city (complexity theories and eco-system approach), (c) new urban movements and spatial planning 2.0. In addition, the course focuses on the relationship between participatory processes and the process of development and post-development, governance issues at local and regional level, and participatory action research to create community economies with emphasis on commons.
