This document discusses participatory approaches in urban planning and design of digital technology. It outlines that participation in urban planning is no longer limited to official or planner-initiated activities, but also includes self-organization. Different types of participation can occur simultaneously in different combinations. Digitally-mediated participation in urban planning cannot rely on single technological solutions but rather on ecologies of tools.

”Who will arrange a Recycling Day? One day when
anyone can bring to the streets all their old stuff (in ok
condition), that they want to get rid of. Others could take
or buy. People would trade stuff, city municipials would
bring disposal containers where everyone would have to
carry what’s left. These containers could be there for a
day or two. Or do we have to arrange this ourselves, T
and A? I need to get half of our stuff out ASAP”.
