People from more than 100 entities participated in the consultation process of Barcelona’s Energy, Climate Change and Air Quality Plan. Besides a series of workshops, an internet discussion forum set up by the municipality helped widen the participation: 900 persons debated and voted online for the outlined proposals.
After further “real-life” discussions with selected stakeholders, a general feedback session was organised in which participants were invited to give their impressions and conclusions on the participative process itself. Interestingly, despite being of a technical nature, the workshops also identified the need for effective communication tools with the citizens!
