As community-based design projects and charrettes continue to play an increasing role in the discourse regarding public space, it is clear that the ideologies of inclusiveness that these participatory processes engender must be critically considered. Approaches that, on the surface, support community participation and engagement can run the gamut from top-down architects-know-best strategies to uncritical acquiescence to community desires. Developing a critical practice that works to contest conventional engagement processes requires the recognition that there is a dialectical relationship between social processes and spatial practices.
