ADVOCACY FOR PARTICIPATION

Tuscan law on participation: the first regional law in Italy

In 2006, Avventura Urbana devised a participatory process for the Region of Tuscany for the drafting of the first regional law on participation in Italy. By using various participatory tools, including Electronic Town Meeting, the process was the first experiment in a legislative process with participation at all its stages, from proposal to approval.

At the end of the process, the text of the law was approved by the Region, incorporating the changes requested by citizens.
