Participatory Budge

We turn our focus to the role of participatory budgeting in the development and maintenance of community spaces. From community centers to shared gardens, we'll explore how collective decision-making can shape these vital spaces that foster connection, provide services, and enhance the quality of life. Hear from communities that have successfully used this approach to create spaces that truly reflect their needs and aspirations. We'll also discuss the challenges and rewards of this democratic process, proving once again that ordinary people can make sophisticated governance decisions when given real power.
