Communicative Planning and Participation in Sweden Through Planner’s Perspective: Case of Ullerâker Region

Öz

The communicative planning approach that has come to the fore in the urban planning literature in the last decades has changed both the urban planning processes and the position and role of the planners. The concept of communicative planning, which carries traditional and hierarchical planning processes to a communicative base by developing dialogue and cooperation between participants/actors, has brought planners beyond being a simple bureaucrat/technocrat as well. This study problematizes how planners perceive and implement the roles of communicative planning for planners. In this problematic context, in this study, which selected Ulleråker urban planning project in Uppsala, Sweden as a case study, face-to-face semi-structured interview data with 13 planners who worked in Ulleråker project were analyzed.
