Participatory Governance and Transformations at the City Level
CONFERENCE OF THE RESEARCH SECTION “COMPARATIVE POLITICS” OF THE GERMAN POLITICAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION (DEUTSCHE VEREINIGUNG FÜR POLITIKWISSENSCHAFT – DVPW)
“Governance of Big Transformations”
School of Governance, Technical University of Munich
21-23 March 2019

Cities are key sites and actors of transformations such as digitalization, decarbonization, and climate adaptation. With the Sustainable Development Goals, the Paris Agreement and the New Urban Agenda, the contribution of cities to the governance of big transformations has been increasingly acknowledged and requested in recent years. As ‘governance’ refers to the impossibility to govern, only adequate governance modes and functioning relationships between governance actors enable cities to govern transformations (Andonova et al, 2009). Their ability to shape local governance varies from mere administration bound to hierarchical instructions to independent local government (Keating, 2008). Cities strive to adopt cross-sectoral approaches, to prioritize bottom-up approaches, to open political processes for different actors, and particularly, to enable citizen participation (Béal/Pinson, 2013).
Participatory governance combines the observation of new governance modes with the claim for democratization of policy-making by means of participation; the concept thus serves normative, descriptive, as well as analytical purposes (Walk 2008).
Various challenges are inherent in participatory governance of (big) transformations at city level. Tensions can arise between classic administrative task fulfilment and new urban projects. Under these circumstances, political leaders play an influential role in defining public interest in the city (Le Galès, 2011), and the city as a municipality has to assert itself as a collective actor (Simoulin, 2013). Actively managing change, the city can stimulate and moderate transformations (Kluge/Schramm 2006). When the city initiates or endorses participatory processes, these are most often not open-ended, but subject to pre-defined political targets (Baasch/Blöbaum, 2017).
Also, design choices determine who can eventually participate, how, and with what power. Different participatory processes have quite opposing impacts on the problem-solving capacities of urban democracy, ie. its ability to empower inclusions, form collective agendas and wills, and make (and implement) collective decisions (Warren, 2017).
The search for adequate forms of participation in urban transformation governance is an ongoing process. This panel examines participatory governance
experiments in various German cities under the City of the Future initiative funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. Possible questions include:
• What new forms of participatory processes are being developed and what are their political consequences?
• What conflicts over and in participatory processes arise at the city level?
• How do individual participatory processes relate to urban governance as a whole?
• (How) Does participatory governance change the roles of actors, including the city and its institutions, in transformation processes?
(How) Can participatory governance contribute to improving cities’ capacities for steering transformations?
What lessons can be derived for participatory processes in transformation governance?

The Quintuple Helix of University-Industry-Government Society-Sustainability Linkages

Since the last quartile of the twentieth century, industrialized countries introduced a knowledge basis on their economies, according to the new techno-sustainable paradigm based on the diffusion of information and communication technologies (Harvey, 1992). A notion of “knowledge-based economy” emerges and becomes the source of competitive benefits to the firms and the primary objective of economic policies (Etzkowitz, 2008; Porter, 1998).
This new economy is organized in a network and institutional actors, such as the University (U), Industry (I) and Government (G), who perform their respective roles of generation and transmission of knowledge, production of goods and services, and regulation of economic activity. Also, from multiple interactions, assume new roles with overlapping, feedback and the emergence of nonlinear dynamics in hybrid and consensus spaces (Etzkowitz; Leydesdorf, 2000).

The resulting product of UIG linkages is the so-called Triple Helix, which is reflected in the emergence of innovation mechanisms and environments, such as business incubators (BI), science, technology and innovation parks (STIP), as well as technology transfer offices, collaborative research networks, regional economic development projects, among others (Etzkowitz, 2008; Amaral, 2015).
In this decade, new helix/spheres were added, understanding that the participation of society, represented by civil society entities and the media, plays an important role. Moreover, a greater objective should be sought by the preservation of nature and the sustainability of economic activities (Carayannis; Barth; Campbell, 2012, 2014; Carayannis; Campbell, 2010).
The thematic number is being organized by the Triple Helix Research Group (THERG-Brazil-www.triple-helix.uff.br) and will be released with six papers in the following topics:

• Innovation environments (ecosystems; business incubators; Science, technology and innovation parks; areas of innovation; districts of innovation);
• Mechanisms for knowledge protection and technology transfer (commercialization offices; nuclei of technological innovation among others);
• Innovation systems (in national and regional levels) and the Triple, Quadruple, and Quintuple Helix approaches;
• The role of organized civil society in innovation and economic development;
• Innovation in firms: Open Innovation, FORTH, Stage-Gate, and other innovation management models;
• S&T&I policies, evaluation of public policies and indicators in innovative environments;
• Productive arrangements and regional economic development with emphasis or innovation basis;
• Eco-innovation and relationship among innovation, sustainability, and the environment;
• Venture Capital and innovative entrepreneurship; entrepreneurship education and education for sustainability;
• The role of the university in the twenty-first century, entrepreneurial university, university management and the role of the academic manager;
• Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI); and
• The Circular Economy.
