"Until now underrepresented and often unheard, the empowering concept of the Citizen Professional--as outlined in this book--serves as a practical reference for citizens and for anyone involved in shaping public space and architecture, and it underscores why such involvement is necessary. Citizens have become more vocal than ever. However, in times of increased governmental withdrawal and rampant privatisation of public goods, how do they claim a seat at the table? Drawing on real projects in various European cities, this book illustrates how citizens can act and empower themselves in this process. It is a process of learning to collaborate, becoming intermediaries, and balancing resistance to dominant market-logics alongside strategic engagement in existing constellations of power and influence--all in service of the common good."-- Back cover.
