title: Citizen participation in local policy in The Netherlands: a case study of the new city hall in Den Helder
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: While citizen participation is increasingly being acknowledged as being important when decisions are being made that affect the public, the extent to which citizens actually have an influence remains questionable. Studies have shown that citizen participation is being applied by local governments in the Netherlands but also show that citizen participation is mainly limited to informing and consulting citizens. This article is a case study of a project that is being contested by local residents: a new city hall in the city center of Den Helder. Citizens claim that citizen participation has not been applied by the local government. The local government, however, claims that the plan is legitimate and that citizen participation has been applied.
