Abstract
The participation of residents and groups of interest in the development of Omsk, since the formation of the Russian Federation in the early 90s of the XX century, has gone through few phases: from understanding of the problem of coexistence in new context, through learning to cooperate to co-creation in the development of public spaces. Each phase responded to its challenges, had organizational features and achievements. The article, using a number of international, federal, interregional and local projects as an example, demonstrates the evolution of the processes of engagement and changes in the system of communication between residents, individual interest groups and the administration, including local government and state authorities. Especial attention is paid to the terminological features of the subject area and the differences in interpretations of key concepts used in Russian and foreign practice is explained, which is a basis for the development of an original methodology based not only on international research, but also on local practical experience gained in the implementation of projects related to the engagement of people and their groups in joint activities to change the public space, including the formulation of a vision of the future, the organization of the process of participatory design and the creation of communities. Initially, the engagement of stakeholders was carried out at the initiative of authorities in the form of hearings and approval of proposals as recommendations, for further substantiation of decision-making. But gradually, based on international experience in organizing involvement processes, there was an expansion of the participation of people and groups who could not only demonstrate their interests, but also formulate requests for changes. The implementation of a number of projects involving interest groups and individuals allowed us to accumulate practical experience, on the basis of which an engagement methodology was developed that came closer to co-creation in the development of public spaces in urban areas, and barriers that hinder this transition were identified.
