This book reports on a multi-methodological study of New York City's participatory budgeting (PB) process from the perspective of a city resident over time. A participatory budgeting slogan purports that the initiative offers 'real power' and 'real money' to constituents at a local level.

This book provides a ground-level view of these limitations and recommends substantial reform.…
