Abstract
Large-scale infrastructure projects around the world are often criticised for their poor selection and administration. The cause for this is generally a lack of stakeholder involvement and management at the local scale. Next to that, there is an increased need to rethink the way conventional infrastructure projects are planned and executed due to broader global issues such as climate change. A case study on a planned inner-city highway extension in Berlin is carried out to get insights into how more informal processes of public participation evolve and how resistance against infrastructure projects emerges. The A100 in Berlin is planned to be extended right through an existing residential area. Motives for the strong local opposition towards the project are diverse and are revealed in this research. Semi-structured interviews with relevant stakeholders alongside participatory observation and stakeholder mapping serve as the basis for an analysis. Results suggest that formal public participation processes are superficial and too late in the project phase. Various informal, community-based processes have emerged as an alternative to formal processes. These might have the power to shift the discourse and exert co-determination in the decision-making process.
