The City Council, through the Department of Urban Agenda and Open Government, directed by Mercedes Bernabé, has begun to organize the working tables of the Social Council for the preparation of the Murcia 2030 Urban Agenda.
Thus, as a pre-celebration phase of the first round of tables, a technical team from the University of Murcia has started personal interviews with the directors today in order to prepare the documentation for these tables.
Specifically, José Méndez, former mayor of Murcia, and Carmen Artiagas, of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Santa María de la Arrixaca, are the first members of the Social Council to participate in the interviews, which will serve to define the most relevant topics and identify the obstacles, resources and potential for planning the Murcia 2030 Urban Agenda.
Likewise, in the words of Mercedes Bernabé, "the ultimate purpose of these interviews is to improve the understanding of the strangulation and potential existing in the municipality, as well as the identification of the vision of its future and the definition of critical issues."
These meetings with the members of the Social Council have begun today and will be extended over the next two weeks.
Subsequently, a total of three rounds of each of the six work tables will be held, the first one taking place the week of March 30 to April 3, which will take as a starting point the conclusions of these series of interviews together with the initial diagnosis already prepared by the technical team.
A process of participation and dialogue
On February 4, the first meeting was held between the City Council and the Social Council of the City, made up of fifty organizations, associations and social groups in the municipality.
From this meeting, in which the new directors took possession, the formation of the six work tables began that will establish the set of priorities for action to face the main challenges that Murcia will face during the next decade .
These six sectoral tables are presented as a process of dialogue and debate that will have as its starting point the initial diagnosis prepared in collaboration with the University of Murcia.
This document will be enriched with contributions from various fields giving rise to a Shared Diagnosis that will be released in September of this year.
Thus, there will be contributions from citizen perception surveys, both face-to-face and online, which will be carried out until June, network analyzes with in-depth interviews with key stakeholders in the municipality and citizen tables formed by between 7 and 11 people selected randomly, with balance in their composition and equitable territorial distribution (city, garden and countryside).
Once the diagnosis has been made, the Murcia 2030 Urban Strategy will be formulated, which will be validated by the Plenary of the Social Council in the last quarter of 2020. At that time, the execution of the agreed actions will begin.
"We started a process of transformation with the involvement of all civil society, because participation is key to the development of this strategy that will set the course for a more sustainable, more pleasant and more cohesive city," adds Mercedes Bernabé.
