Avenues to reduce inequalities that exist in the planning process can be created through participation (Parker et al. 2017). This transfers power to locals, giving them authority over the formulation and implementation of plans (Vigar et al. 2017). Participatory spatial planning refers to the incorporation of diverse perspectives in the development of territorial domains in order to produce certain desired outcomes. The process involves actors or stakeholders with vested interests in the different policy areas that must be executed (Nadin et al. 2020). Moreover, it entails the element of accounting for the needs of different communities or social groups in allocation of resources (Fenster and Misgav 2014). The concept is immanent in terms of the development discourse at different spatial scales, i.e. global, national, regional, and local.
