Abstract
Participatory and partnership approaches have become widely accepted within planning and development discourses (Healey, 1997; UN-Habitat, 2009). Theoretically, their importance is attributed to the perceived capacity to ensure: responsiveness, credibility of intervention, the building of trust amongst participating individuals and establishments, and a sense of ownership on the part of local residents and others. Increasingly, participation is considered an important characteristic and indicator of good governance. In many societies however, access to participation is variable due to limited democratic space.
