Urban Policy and Citizen ParticipationPresence and voice in the City Council of Curitiba

Resumo

Urban policy in Curitiba includes the City Council of Curitiba (Concitiba) as apermanent participatory body. As Graham Smith (2009) indicates, the institutional design of such an instanceis capable of influencing its production of democratic goods, in which inclusion is important, and may beassessed through two markers: presence and voice. This paper approaches institutional design of Concitiba andverifies the promotion of inclusion through presence and voice, over its first two terms (2008 to 2012). Withregard to presence, two groups demonstrated regimental and effective predominance: the public sector and theproductive sector. In terms of voice, there was warranted space for the represented groups to manifest their(mostly conflicting) arguments. Concerns regarding the internal organization of the council were a big issueduring its beginnings, but manifestations of divergent positions and conflicting projects in urban policy issuesper se eventually outgrew them.
