Since 1970s local government reform, four main concepts of Publicness in Denmark have been democracy from below, governance, public-private partnership and policy network. In Denmark, public and private sectors including local government, voluntary associations, NGOs and residents work together in creation and implementation of a plan. The network of relationships among the various participants of planning process characterizes diversity of Publicness. It is noted that public participation in planning process is empathized and actively pursued.
