Abstract
Participatory governance and urban citizenship belong to different, even conflicting traditions in political thinking Whereas governance goes beyond the state referring to the systematic opening of politics for civil society actors the concept of citizenship is state-centred describing first of all rights and obligations guaranteed by the state. But recent empirical and theoretical developments have led to linkages between citizenship and governance. This chapter explores this area of overlap and discusses some of the resulting problems for a sustainable, innovative and democratic concept of participatory governance.
