Abstract
Since the Netherlands have to deal with a housing problem due to among others urbanization and population growth, urban regions have to build houses. The municipality of Groningen plans 20.000 houses until 2035. Therefore, the municipal executive has selected several sites which will be extended or revitalized in both the inner city and outside the city. Housing projects ask for a customized citizen participation approach, since it influences citizens’ place specific perspective. Support for housing plans in a certain urban region depends among others on citizen participation. However, not much is known about differences in citizen participation between certain urban regions. Where in literature advantages and disadvantages of citizen participation are given, there is a gap how this is perceived in different urban regions. Groningen strives for being a compact city, while urban sprawl arises at the rural-urban fringe. Understanding the roles of place perspective in a certain urban form and well-being are important points of interest in debates on environmental and social sustainability of cities. Unless the pressure to build houses on both urban sites, citizens are involved in such participation processes. There are conditions for successful participation, which have been the basis for this thesis. This thesis is done to see to what extent a mismatch exists in citizen participation between inner and outer city neighbourhoods in Groningen. For both urban planners as citizens this research could be interesting which indicators contribute to citizen participation and to deal with them in case of housing plans.
