Abstract

In this article, we examine the social meaning of participatory citizenship by using qualitative methods. In the core of our case study was participatory budgeting organized in Espoo Center district. The aim of the city officials was to support the local activity and identify the potentials of urban development through an idea competition. There was also an interest to pilot a procedure of resident participation. In the study, four local people and six experts, who had been taking part in participatory budgeting in Helsinki Metropolitan area, were interviewed. Also, observations in situ were made to affirm the comprehension on the roles of stakeholders in urban planning and development, and to pay attention to both the possibilities and the restrictions of the current and future negotiations for the real smart city.
