The reciprocal development of the object of common space and the emergence of the collective agency in residents' workshops

In this study we provide an overview of the reciprocal development of residents' collective agency and the object of ‘space’. Our findings call attention to 1) the significance of the joint object in coordinating the fragmented needs of the residents, 2) new participatory practices which enable the long process of transitions in the formation of the joint object, and 3) guidance and support that allowed the residents' local place-based knowledge to emerge and promote their participation.
