The Observatorio de la Ciudad is an institutionalized body composed of 49 randomly selected participants. They rotate every year after 8 sessions of work. Their main task is to review proposals coming from the digital participation platform called Decide Madrid.
They write a short report for every proposal before deciding to send it to the public in the form of a referendum. They work under a deliberative dynamic with facilitation. This is a project from the city council but ParticipaLab has been helping to inspire, design and calibrate every detail. The Observatorio was preceded by the G1000 Madrid.
