Public Participation


In Brasil, municipalities have opted to be governed by participatory guidelines that establish citizen input to planning decisions. Campos dos Goytacazes is no exception. Because of the invite of UENF Professor Faria, I was able to attend the city strategic planning discussion on Friday, March 2, 2007 and continuing planning session on March 9, 2007. Discussions at these sessions covered building permits and building guidelines along with various proposals. The sessions are open to the public for dialogue and are held at the Prefeitora offices centrally located in the city.
