The aim of this thesis is therefore to examine which citizens have the possibility to power in the planning process. This will be understood with a theoretical framework based on cultural capital, constraints, and organization. Opinions from the citizens will contribute to information about who has the opportunity to express themselves in planning processes and analyzing the planning process will let us know which citizens have the power inside the process. This study shows that strong cultural capital results in both the opportunity to express power and the power to make a difference within the planning process. (Less)
