title: Urban self-organisation? What is it? Transitions in participatory thinking. Empirical evidence from Sofia, Bulgaria
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: In this thesis I outline that urban self-organisation is a mean of civic engagement in planning initiatives, based on evidence in two specific case studies in Sofia, Bulgaria. I define urban self-organisation as an asset of participatory action which is based on certain social and physical sharedness, as well as taking roots in the collective intentionality of various personalia gained around a certain goal or aim. Critical analysis of the empirical findings included in this thesis recommends that a transition towards urban self-organisation in elucidation of participatory phenomena is far more suitable than the existing conventions of civilian participation as framed and constitutionalised liability. Engaging citizen participation with urban self-organisation may not only grant access of ordinary people to influence decision-making, but also the other way around – to illustrate strict bureaucrats that more creative, innovative, and participatory practices are not so difficult to achieve.
