Participación Ciudadana en Diseño Urbano: promoviendo una ciudad más inclusiva.

Abstract

This article, as part of the PhD dissertation “Citizen participation in local urban planning: the case of Chile”, aims to open a conceptual discussion about citizen participation in city planning and urban design, its legal framework and the feasibility of its application in the process of implementation of urban projects in the Chilean context. Although the PhD dissertation is intended to assess the interaction between the actors involved in citizen participation, in the process of development of urban planning projects, the same methodology could be applied to urban design. In general terms, the methodology aims to give response to four fundamental questions, through the use of an array of analytical instruments: -      Who summons and who makes the final decision? -      What is to be decided and when? -      How is the decision made? Who benefits from the final decision?
