Municipal Strategic Plans

The Municipal Strategic Plans are defined as documents that reflect a strategic vision in the themes related to the management and use of the territory at the local level, resulting from joint spaces between the local government, civil society organizations and the private sector oriented to the development of a City or region in the medium or long term. Unlike traditional planning processes, citizen participation is a central axis around which diagnoses and proposals for the use, improvement and resolution of problems are built. The role of citizenship is consultative and deliberative. The topics covered can range from the definition and design of the urban space, such as the expansion of public green areas, road and sanitary works, to more complex topics such as modernization and decentralization of institutions, or the installation of educational and health facilities, etc.

?

Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?

Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?

Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?

Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
