Democracy from the Ground Up: How Political Participation is Implemented in Million-Plus Cities

As cities grow and change, so too does the need for governance that is open, inclusive and accountable to the people it serves. Across the globe, local actors are meeting this challenge head-on, developing creative ways to bring citizens closer to decision-making and ensure that every voice has a place in shaping urban life.

In this webinar, we’ll embark on a global journey from India to South America, the United States, and beyond, hearing directly from changemakers who are strengthening citizen engagement through innovative tools and approaches. Together, we’ll explore how participation in local governance can become more accessible, effective and representative in rapidly growing urban contexts.

Join us as we discuss the opportunities and challenges of implementing citizen participation in large cities, and uncover what it truly takes to make democracy work at the local level in urban areas of millions.
