<br/><br/> How can the process of public participation be improved? This study uses interviews and focus-group discussions to look for some answers.

Specifically, we need to move away from static and reactive processes toward more dynamic and deliberative processes. The article suggests some practical steps to achieve these changes. - Reproduced
