"Uncertainty and confiict of interests often impede the practice of public participation in urban planning; nevertheless, even if overcoming the impediments, the current public participation institution still tends to bring about the outcome that members within the commonwealth (the government, the executor, and property owners) pursue their maximum interests with mutual restrictions. However, given the enormous impact of urban planning on the external and generational environment, the outcome should not be judged as agreeing with the “public interest.” This issue highlights that the content of “publicness” in urban planning needs further exploration. Therefore, this study reviews the existing institutions and literature of public participation in urban planning in Taiwan to deduce the current participation patterns and ideas and identifies the gap in the practice and theory of public participation with publicness. On the basis, this study introduces the Kantian shift in “publicness,” namely, the public use of reason, which relies on active citizenship without the direct relationship with commonwealth benefits, enabling decision-making to be based on universality and as others make to reach universal publicness. Thus, this study indicates that public participation should incorporate the opinions of others in spatial and temporal dimensions who are not involved in commonwealth benefits. This incorporation could be achieved by selecting participants randomly and bringing them the condition of facing the public to represent others’ opinions. Finally, through theoretical refiection and reconstruction, this study proposes suggestions on modifying the current public participation institution and rearranging the pattern of future public participation to restore publicness and public interest in urban planning.
