Abstract
The legitimacy of collaborative governance is, in theory, based on direct participation by members of stakeholder groups. However in practice there are varying levels of participation often due to power imbalance. The increasing level of private participation in redevelopment projects suggests that private actors are to an extent creating the feeling of legitimacy. This research examines the role that private actors play in creating trust among residents. Trust being a key component of legitimacy. Using interviews and official documents, a case study of the Stadshavens redevelopment project was conducted. It was found that private actors do not consider themselves to play a role in the creation of trust in the planning process. Neither residents nor private actors believe private actors to be accountable for the creation of trust. Private actors were considered to not be trustworthy by residents. However the residents expressed trust in the public sphere (the democratic process), believing that the municipality had the final say in the project. This research concludes that planners should consider educating civil actors on the primary role of power that private actors hold as residents do not seem to be aware of how decision making takes place in these large projects.
