v1 · 21 September 2026 · curator Goal
The goal of Pressupostos Participatius de Barcelona is to open spaces and channels through which residents propose, deliberate on, prioritise and directly choose investment projects for each of Barcelona's ten districts, to be executed by the Ajuntament within the municipal mandate, so that citizens gain voice and a leading role in managing public resources, direct democracy comes to coexist with representative democracy, and a new democratic culture of participation becomes part of the normal working of the city's institutions.
