Abstract

Recent research indicates that information and communication technologies (ICTs) can support social participation in the planning, design and maintenance of public spaces (PDMPS), specifically to create comprehensive knowledge among different stakeholders. However, critics point out that the use of ICTs by planners and decision-makers often ignores the needs of local residents. For this research, we inquired how ICTs can support social participation in PDMPS. Our case study combines a literature review and 21 semi-structured interviews with government officials, non-governmental organisations, academics and architecture/urban planning consultancy companies in Mexico to understand how different stakeholders use ICTs to improve the quality of public spaces. We developed an approach that facilitates the analysis of ICT aspects related to hardware and software supporting social participation in PDMPS. The findings show that Mexico has a base of digital tools requiring technical capacities and spatial literacy at various stages of PDMPS, and ICTs are seen as an opportunity to engage with residents. However, in practice, our interviewees mentioned that ICTs are rarely implemented to support participatory processes due to high costs, a lack of political support and the insufficient technical expertise of technical staff to engage with residents using ICTs. The paper closes with recommendations and suggestions for future research on how ICTs can better support participatory processes in PDMPS. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present an analysis of the current development conditions of public spaces in Mexico through the perspectives of different actors. It will also explain the main issues of the actual planning regulatory framework concerning the inclusion of civil society in the planning and design process of public spaces in Mexico. We take into account the Federal law of human settlements, territorial order, and urban development (Diario Oficial de la Federacion, 2016)presented in November of 2016, which became the first federal legislation in Mexico that defines and relates the terms “urban development”, “public space” and “social participation” (ANPR & WRI México, 2018). This research aims to present a background of the current conditions of planning public spaces in Mexico according to the federal government for the period (2018-2024), non-governmental institutions, and the private sector where each actor has a different perspective of the conditions of how public spaces should be developed., L’objectif de cet article est de présenter une analyse des conditions actuelles de développement des espaces publics au Mexique à travers l’examen des perspectives des différents acteurs. Il déterminera également les principaux problèmes du cadre réglementaire actuel de planification concernant l’inclusion de la société civile dans le processus de planification et de conception des espaces publics au Mexique. Nous prenons en compte la loi fédérale sur les établissements humains, l’ordre territorial et le développement urbain (Federacion, 2016), présentée en novembre 2016 et qui est devenue la première législation fédérale au Mexique qui définit et relie les termes « développement urbain », « espace public » et « participation sociale » (World Resource Institute, 2018). Cette recherche vise à présenter un contexte des conditions réelles de planification des espaces publics au Mexique selon le gouvernement fédéral pour la période (2018-2024), les institutions non gouvernementales et le secteur privé, où chaque acteur a une perspective différente
