Participatory Review of the Strategic Master Plan of São Paulo
The Participatory Review of the Strategic Master Plan of São Paulo took place in 2013. It is a basic instrument in guiding municipal urban expansion planning and development policies. In 2002, the city of São Paulo had its plan approved and in 2013, it was subjected to a revision through a participatory process developed by the Municipal Executive and Legislative branches. The process consisted of two fronts. Firstly, the implementation of a series of plenary sessions and conferences in the regions of the city of São Paulo to present the targets of the 2002 plan, receive new proposals and discuss the new goals for local development. Secondly, a digital platform was launched, through which citizens could propose amendments and suggestions for the new plan directly. 10,147 proposals for the new plan were received and 25,692 participants were involved on-site and virtually.
