        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.}
