  abstract = {The community participation aspect of the World Health Organization Healthy Cities initiative is examined as implemented in Sheffield, England, \& Barcelona, Spain. Interview data (N not specified) reveal that the meaning of "community participation" varied considerably among the various actors in the area of public health policy; further, the understanding of participation was generally rather vague, \& consequently there were no definitive objectives with regard to participation. Plans to integrate participation into the activities of both cities are presented within a theoretical framework. The case studies suggest that the two cities are approaching community participation much differently, with Sheffield attempting to create a more democratic health policy within an already democratic system, \& Barcelona trying to establish democratic patterns after a forty year dictatorship. It is contended that the length of democratization in the country \& the degree of centralization in the respective health systems have most significantly impacted the development of community participation. At both sites, however, the dedication to participation in both initiatives, at least at the level of the frontline workers, has been encouraging. Adapted from the source document.
