Participación en la elaboración de políticas públicas. Instrumentos de planificación para la co-gestión de vivienda y ciudad en ámbito local.

Abstract

After the municipal elections of May 2015 in Spain, the new city councils elected have to face the existing residential crisis, highlighted by the continuous citizens' mobilizations after the bursting of the Spanish real state bubble (2008). An example is the Sevillian municipality of Bormujos, which have approved a new General Urban Plan (PGOU) with a proposal for the growth of more than 5,000 houses, under market dynamics away from the satisfaction of citizens' demands of affordable access to housing. In this context, and with the change of the municipal government, the new city council have developed its Municipal Housing and Land Plan (PMVS) in a participatory way. Based on its analysis, this research aims to define how participation can influence the development of public policies in a municipality. Thus, it is concluded which are the contributions of the participatory process carried out in Bormujos that will favour the change toward a new model of use of the existing city, facilitating access to affordable housing giving priority to role of citizens instead of the interests of market.
