Permanent Participatory Forum
The Permanent Participatory Forum was constituted within the scope of the Environmental Urban Plan Council of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, as a space exclusively destined for the participation of citizens and civil and social organizations for deliberation and consensus regarding the Urban Environmental Plan. To this end, the Forum was organized in previous thematic workshops where the conclusions and evaluations were agreed upon with the participants, which are then documented and elevated to the competent area within the City administration. Finally, a Bill was drafted based on these contributions, approved by the local Legislature in 2009. A second edition took place between 2016 and 2017. The member organizations belonged to both academic and community sectors, including physical and legal persons, and represented by the Council of the Urban Environmental Plan, the Strategic Plan Council, and the Management and Participation Centers, among others.
