El auge de la participación ciudadana en el urbanismo: un reto para la administración pública

Abstract

Participatory urbanism requires democratic and participatory urban governance, so the role traditionally played by the administration in city design should change, opening new channels of participation in order to involve citizenship that demand visibility and a higher profile in urban public policies. The aim of this paper is to analyze how public managers should carry out the governance of collaborative urban planning, knowing which the technologies are a necessary tool to achieve success. In this scenario, platform cooperatives, with the values of cooperativism, are very useful for public managers, as they allow the administration and society to interact, discuss and agree on urban policies, within the framework of a true collaborative urbanism.
