Abstract
Abstract Recent scholarship has revealed a “participatory paradox” that highlights how increased support for participatory initiatives continues to be limited by centralized forms of decisionmaking. To explain this paradox, this article uses the analytical framework of Critical Institutionalism (CI) to explain how the professionalization of planning establishes distinct ways of knowing the urban public realm. Despite the presence of new participatory practices, these professionalized ways of knowing continue to trump the experiential knowledge of participants.
