Sistema Participativo

As the community is important and at the centre of decision-making, over the last decade the council has implemented local development strategies in which citizens are called upon to participate.

Their voice is heard and different models of active citizenship are made available in the participation system, depending on their interest and the degree of involvement they are willing to have.
