AB  - The chapter aims to contribute to the understanding of the transformative
potentials of participation in planning, particularly about underpinning principles
and existing models of participation, including those that affect planning professionals’
responsiveness in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. The key research
question is: what kinds of transformations occurred through new and alternative
forms of participation in urban planning in Serbia within the last decade, and how
does participation inform the future of cities in a time of uncertainty during the
crisis? The research draws on the theoretical framework of critical pragmatism for
understanding the micro-dynamics of practitioners’ engagement. It focuses on the
experiences of planning professionals in applying non-mandatory, alternative participation
practices during the early stage of the planning process. They take the form of
small, pragmatic steps and practices of planning professionals that should contribute
to effective urban governance on specific challenges. However, the normalization of
those practices is just too earlier to evaluate if it would persist after the crisis caused
by the COVID-19 pandemic.

AB  - This article considers a decade of practice and research in the field of
participatory planning in the context of a post-socialist country, Serbia. The main aim is to assess the transformative potential of participation within the following domains: 1) formation of relationships, 2) recognition of issues and priorities, 3) perception of values and results of planning process, and 4) possibility for
institutionalization of participatory practice in a post-socialist country planning context. The presented work examines urban development practices in 45 Serbian cities through the lenses of 95 professional planners that were interviewed over the course of 13 years. What is common to all of the examined cases is that participatory planning processes were realized through the support of international programs that operated in the field of territorial governance in Serbia from 2007 to 2020. Findings indicate that the acceptance of new concepts and policies in the local path-contingent practice requires pragmatic attitude of planning professionals, small steps and liberty to experiment, but also a possibility to discuss new discourses and understand their results. In the theoretical frame, this article contributes to the critical analysis of pragmatism and the flow of
transnational policy discourse.
