Abstract
In the past half-century, researchers started paying attention to enhancing the performance of urban spaces. Their perception of performance comprised urban climate changes, space synthesis, economic performance, and enhancing the quality of life in spaces. However, it has been agreed that Good Governance(GG) is the key to achieving any of the previously mentioned enhancement projects. Good Governance(GG) pillars ensures the participation of the public. Public participation is a cornerstone in any planning process. Nevertheless, the way in which the participation practices are accomplished guarantees its effectiveness as a planning tool. In these regards, Good Governance (GG) stands as a keyword. Having good governance allows citizens to participate freely in development projects, ensuring the deep fulfillment of users’ needs, and the efficient use of city resources and assets. This paper proposes a framework for effective public participation based on Good Governance (GG) understandings. Considering the implementation challenges in different conditions, it focuses on the third world countries and Egypt in particular. It identifies the keys to a successful participation process by correlating effective participation practices to the levels of participation, types of stakeholders, the stages of urban development, the city systems, and the participation process. Finally, this paper validates the proposed framework by analyzing the Elkhaledin garden re-development project, one of the city center revitalization projects in the city of Alexandria, Egypt.
