Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 都市計劃研究所 === 103 === Constructing platforms of communication in local community to build a consensus with citizens has been an important means for Taipei Urban Regeneration Office in recent years. This research draws on empirical evidence from Share Vision project in Wanhua district, Taipei to explore the issue whether the consensus building process is controlled by power.
I argue that a limited number of experts and elites with specialized knowledge shape the consensus through their discourse and forums which are built to present the openness of communicating process. And the strategies and action plans, as the outcome of Share Vision project, isn’t based on the consensus of most of citizens; on the contrary, they represent the viewpoint of very few people in local community. Therefore, the implementation of this policy fails to reduce the conflict within different social groups. But I infer that Taipei Urban Regeneration Office may advocate these strategies and action plans, which built by few people to other local communities and government departments more successfully, because of the development of political capital in participants.
