Abstract

Citizen participation is a requirement of modern democracies for the construction of public policy. In territory planning, citizen participation is done through consultation tools as participative planning workshops (PPW). This study analyzes citizen participation in three cases of territory planning on the Mexico’s northern border. The results show that PPW are a good tool for deliberation but that is necessary to strength the institutional frame to open more spaces for effective participation of society.
