Abstract
Three theories of the degree of success of community participation in housing development—class/cultural, bureaucratic tasks, and vested interests—are applied to two case studies in New York City. The class/cultural theory is not successful in explaining the case studies, while the bureaucratic tasks and the vested interests theories are useful.
