Problems hindering inclusiveparticipatory processes include self-exclusion and exclusionary dynamics inthe neighbourhood. These dynamics centre on power struggles that lead theleast powerful to opt out. Thus, the Danish ‘Ghetto Strategy’, which aims toincrease local community participation and volunteering, could have theunintended consequence of increasing social and health inequalities ratherthan reducing them.
