, Turkey great influence that European urban and social policies have been showing throughout the last decade (since the first 1990s until now), stressing the priority of citizen participation and sub-local programmes for urban development. What we try to demonstrate here is, first, that the promotion of higher levels of citizen participation had a weaker influence than expected, according to the afore-mentioned socio-political frame, within the processes of definition of master plans in these two cities. Thus, master plans seem to be "untouchable" by the European wave in favour, supposedly, of more participatory policies. Secondly, we sustain that local urban politics, including historical patterns of inclusion/exclusion and victories/defeats of urban movements, highly constrained urban planning processes in our case studies
