Abstract

Creating just and accessible cities demands changes in how municipalities and public sector handle complex issues such as urban planning and distribution of welfare due to ongoing societal transformation . Considerable attention needs to be paid to increasing inequality, heterogeneity and unevenly spread lack of trust. C omplex challenges need to involve those concerned, those who live, reside and work in the city and community. Therefor municipalities need to create infra structure and a culture that include reflective practice in everyday work, both with citizens, civil society and different actors and within the municipality itself. The reflective practice must be lived on all levels in organizations and in all meetings.
