WHO, WHEN, WHERE, AND WHY PARTICIPATE?
21 | 4 | 2018Current calls for participation are based on the assumption, that people are able and willing to invest time for a common political goal or a planning project and to share goods, places, expertise, and power. But since the benefit is never fairly distributed amongst all, some will never join – and others leave the process. Participation today is often misused as a tool for sedation and pacification of many, while serving the interest of a few.
SCCM INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP WORKING TOGETHER
21 | 4 | 2018Sharing is more than dividing common resources. It is about making common good. We are making it by working together. By working together we are exchanging private and public interests for shared values. By working together we are changing our city into shared spaces. Shared spaces are not given to us but determined by sharing. They are not our property but the way we are appropriating. Instead of boundaries we are making thresholds where we meet and talk to agree on what to do. In the forefront of our personal involvements there are sparkles of revolving commonality – our generosity.
