In this issue, pNd – rethinking planning will look at the limits of participation. In particular, we want to focus on urban development processes that are not exemplary – success stories have already been sufficiently told. We therefore extend an invitation to exchange ideas in an international and interdisciplinary context about the (im)possibilities of participation in urban development. Pointing out and naming these can help to stimulate learning processes and to understand failure as a gain.
