Propelling public participation in urban river rehabilitation: Viu la riera!, a participatory process in the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona

Abstract:

There is a gap between the increasing social use of urban rivers and the still very limited Public Participation (PP) under the EU Water Framework Directive. A participatory process aimed at propelling PP and active involvement in urban river rehabilitation is presented with the objective to highlight a list of learning points. The participatory process was supported by web-based Public Participation Geographic Information System (PPGIS) and face-to-face workshops. Online tool and onsite workshops were combined with the aim of gathering lay public knowledge, and promoting collective decision making and citizen self-organization. Five learning points emerged from the selfreflection on the process related to: scale, methodology, experience, leadership and temporal perspective.
