Abstract
Public participation (PP) is important and means more to the citizens, hence is not only about
development plans, but also about lives and livelihoods. It is offers citizens a perspective of their future,
health, destiny, and community. As a result, PP encouraged an innovative process, that guarantees the
efficiency of sustainable development plans, and promotes a sustainable new way of living in
community. Sustainable development plans demands an increasing role of PP, within the frame of
efficiency of sustainable planning process. Development plans in Greater Khartoum (GK), should
perform a methodological process that is to be structured over distinct sequence stages, providing the
development of continuous interactive, integrated and participative planning. The process of involving
the public makes the results more relevant to the population’s needs, and creates a livable city. In fact,
participation provides local knowledge and thus makes the planner decisions more appropriate to local
specificities. This paper states a short history of public participation in development plans. The history
seeks to challenge the profession’s view of participation, as simply the public processes designed and
controlled by planners. Also it suggests a methodology for sustainable development plan in GK.
