Although it is in Dutch, I thought this article was interesting to share. It reflects on the plan of the Flemish government to structure infrastructure works more efficiently. A few politicians believe that participation by citizens slows down the working process. As a response some organisations want to stress the need for governments to engage citizens in qualitative and interesting ways in infrastructure works.

Social Spaces certainly wants to propose/design some challenging and – at the same time – efficient participatory methods!
