Bogota participatory governance

The Itinerant Citizen Assembly of Bogota is organized by DemoLab, the Bogotá Open Council Laboratory, with the objective of promoting citizen participation in the management of the city. Through a random process, citizens were selected and invited to participate as social representatives in a deliberation exercise. Of the citizens selected, 110 agreed to participate in the Assembly, which was divided into 6 permanent commissions to identify the city’s main problems. The Assembly will meet for 4 years to deliberate on issues relevant to citizens in Bogotá.
