Web 2.0 has brought a plethora of new tools (such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and others) and new functionalities, for instance, the ability to co-create web content. The question that is being asked is whether these applications and online tools can be used as an alternative to non-electronic tools for participation in spatial planning processes. The co-creation process that these tools enable is also participation. Participation in urban planning is an important part of space planning that we share with different users of planned space. The chapter shows how the theory of participation can be associated with participatory methods that are used in spatial planning. And how to use them when choosing and creating electronic Web 2.0 tools of. However, to make the use of electronic tools easier for non-professionals from the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), we have selected electronic tools designed for collaboration and participation to be integrated into a generative web framework. Various electronic tools are described in this chapter, with different ways of using in the processes of participation and co-creation. One tool that was developed for the needs of a certain European project from the field of integration of local initiatives in revitalizing urban public spaces of contemporary cities and could be used for other similar purposes will be described in more detail. An analysis of the tool used and the responses of those who used it will also be presented.
