Omschrijving	We see the emergence of citizens and entrepreneurs who collectively take the lead in spatial transformation in the context of place-based development. Examples are initiatives in revitalizing of public space, self-governance in energy production, food, health-care, or landscape maintenance, or fostering social cohesion in neighborhoods and other meaningful everyday places. The course provides insight to understand these forms of self-governance from different perspectives, how planners can facilitate these initiatives and engage society in spatial transformation and how this results in new government roles and institutional arrangements. The course specifically pays attention to the (inter)subjective aspects of planning.
