The book offers a comprehensive examination of the intersection between theory, research, and practice in neighborhood planning. It delves into the dynamics of citizen participation, exploring the factors that contribute to the effectiveness of community voices and the reasons for their exclusion from planning outcomes. Through this analysis, it provides valuable insights into enhancing civic engagement and improving the decision-making process in local governance.

The past three decades have seen an international 'turn to participation' - letting those who will be affected by neighbourhood planning outcomes play an active role in decision-making. This innovative analysis brings theory, research, and practice together and gives insights into how and why citizen voices either become effective or get excluded.
