Based on qualitative case studies in secondary cities in Ghana and interviews with key stakeholders, my contribution shows some implications of limited capacities of planning and policy making and a low degree of organised civil society. In contrast to this, the high degree of self-provisioning of the local people provides potential starting points for co-production. This actual gap on the ground between the ordinary people's capacity to organise and administrate, and the government's to respond, shows some practical limitations of the rather optimistic discourse on the co-production of services.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Gribat, author = {Gribat, Nina}, title = {Conflicting rationalities and messy actualities of dealing with vacant housing in Halle/Saale, East Germany}, series = {The New Urban Ruins : Vacancy, Urban Politics and International Experiments in the Post-crisis City}, booktitle = {The New Urban Ruins : Vacancy, Urban Politics and International Experiments in the Post-crisis City}, editor = {O'Callaghan, Cian and Di Feliciantonio, Cesare}, publisher = {Policy Press}, address = {Bristol}, isbn = {9781447356899}, doi = {10.51952/9781447356899.ch006}, pages = {109 -- 124}, language = {en} } @misc{Gribat, author = {Gribat, Nina}, title = {Stadt f{\"u}r wen?}, series = {Friends of Malowes}, journal = {Friends of Malowes}, number = {26.01.2021}, language = {de} }
