This paper aims to contribute to the growing body of literature on evaluation of community participation in the water and sanitation sector. The first part discusses the conceptual underpinnings of participatory approaches. The paper then analyses stakeholder perceptions about the Household-centred Environmental Sanitation (HCES) approach, a participatory planning approach recently validated in two countries: Lao People's Democratic Republic (PDR) and Nepal. Post intervention surveys were conducted with experts and key informants in both countries to assess satisfaction regarding degree of participation, effectiveness of planning outcomes and process efficiency of the participatory planning process. It specifically looks at the variability in people's perceptions about the costs and benefits of community participation. Empirical findings show that experts and participants show high satisfaction rates regarding involvement in decision making. The earlier and stronger residents were involved in the process, the higher the satisfaction rate. In a second part, the main findings of expert interviews are contrasted with the perceptions of the community at large which participated in the participatory planning process. A better understanding of community participation in urban settings is needed regarding skills, motivation, time, and defining the right levels of participation.

O artigo discute uma experiência associada de projeto urbano e planejamento participativo ocorrida em Lajedinho/BA, cidade com elevado nível de ruralização onde, em 2013, ocorreu uma grave enchente, com vítimas fatais e destruição parcial da cidade. Com aportes teóricos sobre o plano e o projeto e, considerando as bases jurídicas e programáticas da política urbana brasileira, analisa a relação entre projeto e plano na formulação de uma agenda pactuada e socialmente legitimada para as cidades, identificando tensões reveladoras de limites e também de potenciais de articulação e interação. Os resultados mostram o quanto a desconexão entre os instrumentos pode acentuar os problemas urbanos e socioambientais que pretendem solucionar e apontam para a possibilidade de ressignificar o plano diretor e o projeto urbano, atribuindo sentidos e significados na perspectiva do direito à cidade.Palavras-chave: Projeto urbano. Plano diretor. Direito à cidade. Lajedinho.URBAN DESIGN AND PARTICIPATORY PLANNING: Connections and Disconnections in Lajedinho´s Reconstruction and  Environmental RecoveryAbstractThis paper discusses an experience of urban design and participatory planning that took place at Lajedinho/BA, city with a high level of ruralization where, in 2013, a severe flood occurred, with fatalities and partial destruction of the city.With theoretical contributions concerning project and planning, and, considering the legal and programmatic basis of brazilian urban policy, the relation between them is analyzed in formulation of a pactual and socially legitimized agenda forthe cities, identifying tensions revealing boundaries and also of articulation and interaction potentials. The results show how much the disconnect between the instruments can accentuate the urban and socio-environmental problems both of them intend to solve and point to the possibility of reframing the master plan and the urban project, attributing meanings from the perspective of the right to the city.Keywords: Urban design.

Participation has been present in the Serbian legal framework in the domain of urban planning since the 1950s. Its scope and legal definition have evolved with the transition to democracy, markets and decentralised governance. In line with EU standards, Serbia introduced an additional level of participation in the form of early public inquiry in 2014. Still, participatory planning practice is often seen as a formality which lacks sufficient effect on the planning solution, and requires qualitative improvements in citizen and stakeholder involvement. The main aim of this paper is to suggest that the use of alternative methods of participation in the domains of informing, consultation and active participation may increase the effectiveness of participatory planning practice. Thus, this paper points out some examples of good practice, and argues for the importance of recognising the existing base of knowledge and expertise in order to respond to contemporary requirements in the field of urban planning.

We examine pervasive opposition to building market-rate housing and relate it to localism: a perspective that grants moral authority to incumbent residents. We argue that localism has become prevalent in housing planning in the United States and that its seeming equality—allowing all communities the right to define themselves—conceals profound imbalances that favor the affluent. We use survey data from California to measure localism, using opposition to state land use preemption as a proxy. We find that localism is concentrated among white, affluent homeowners. This suggests that localist beliefs are less prevalent in the population than they are in planning practice.

SummaryRecently, there has been a proliferation of international agreements imposing minimum standards on states in respect of their treatment of foreign investors and allowing investors to initiate dispute settlement proceedings where a state violates these standards. Of greatest significance to Canada is Chapter 11 of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which provides both standards for state behaviour and the right to initiate binding arbitration. Since 1996, four cases have been brought under Chapter 11. This note describes the Chapter 11 process and suggests some of the issues that may arise as it is increasingly resorted to by investors.
