Building the City We Want
Building the City We Want was an initiative implemented by the Secretary of Urban Development and Housing of Mexico City with the objective of promoting inclusive urban planning. By means of a public consultation that was managed through work tables, workshops, surveys and interviews, the aim was to promote citizen participation for the design of Mexico City's General Urban Development Program. This deliberative exercise encouraged dialogue among citizens to identify problems and define actions with respect to urban development. A total of 6,385 citizens participated and submitted 2,343 proposals for the Program.
