Справка

A participatory process is a sequence of participatory activities (e.g. first filling out a survey, then making proposals, discussing them in face-to-face or virtual meetings, and finally prioritizing them) with the aim of defining and making a decision on a specific topic.

Examples of participatory processes are: a process of electing committee members (where candidatures are first presented, then debated and finally a candidacy is chosen), participatory budgets (where proposals are made, valued economically and voted on with the money available), a strategic planning process, the collaborative drafting of a regulation or norm, the design of an urban space or the production of a public policy plan.

About this process

This is a space to generate ideas for neighborhood level changes that encourage active living. It is specifically focused on places that may not already have good "bones" in terms of safe sidewalks, streets, nearby destinations, and spaces for activity.

In the process of developing ideas, we encourage starting from basic principles:

  • What does active living mean for people living in these neighborhood types?

  • What resources and possible advantages already exist?

  • What are the ultimate goals in terms of the physical and social health for residents?

  • How can residents implement changes and build continued momentum?

The goal is to develop fresh ideas that can become a starting point for neighborhood groups aiming to improve local quality of life.
