Abstract

The introduction of the participatiesamenleving policy direction to the Netherlands has triggered local government to shift its focus towards large projects in their district. Citizens are left to themselves, and take over former governmental responsibilities. This thesis calls for a transition in the policies surrounding citizen initiatives for public space, by introducing a communicative policy framework. The framework is elaborated for the borough of Amsterdam Noord, accompanied by a design illustration focusing on the Purmerplein in Tuindorp Nieuwendam.
