The first case in Italy of a 'French style' public debate on a large infrastructure was held in Genoa in 2009 on the project of motorway bypass of the city. This chapter analyzes the characteristics of the device on the basis of this experience: the conflict that caused the debate, the independence of the commission that had the task to run it, the organization of the process and the transparency of information, the mobilization of the local communities and the confrontation on the problem of their representation , the imbalance in the citizens’ participation, the dilemma between the ‘how’ and the ‘if’ of the project, and between deliberation and confrontation, and, finally, the result of the debate. The chapter ends by discussing to what extent the “French style” publics debates can be viewed as ambivalent.

The first case in Italy of a 'French style' public debate on a large infrastructure was held in Genoa in 2009 on the project of motorway bypass of the city. This chapter analyzes the characteristics of the device on the basis of this experience: the conflict that caused the debate, the independence of the commission that had the task to run it, the organization of the process and the transparency of information, the mobilization of the local communities and the confrontation on the problem of their representation , the imbalance in the citizens’ participation, the dilemma between the ‘how’ and the ‘if’ of the project, and between deliberation and confrontation, and, finally, the result of the debate. The chapter ends by discussing to what extent the “French style” publics debates can be viewed as ambivalent.
