This reprint brings together research that explores the evolving role of participation in territorial and urban planning, encompassing the theory, methods, and case studies of participatory land and urban planning. As planning practices increasingly move beyond traditional expert-driven approaches, participatory processes have become essential for understanding local needs, integrating diverse forms of knowledge, and fostering more democratic and inclusive urban and land‑use decision making.

The reprint aims to improve the understanding of participation in territorial and urban planning and facilitate international exchange. It underscores the importance of collaborative, inclusive, and knowledge‑rich processes for shaping more equitable and sustainable territories.
