So that the participation in all full knowledge of the facts is possible, a degree of Transparence, for example the radical Transparence, is necessary , but nonsufficient .

The participation is especially required for the Décision S which affect in priority certain categories of the population, in particular in the field of the Urbanisme and of the urban renovations.

This “scale of the participation” is always used by sociologists to even analyze the way in which the public authorities inform, make take part the citizens in decision makings:

If Sherry R. Arnstein locates examples of participation in each one of these eight levels in the United States, the participation does not exceed in France the framework of the “non-participation” and “information” within the framework of the urban renovations, according to the analysis of J. Donzelot and R. Epstein.
