Abstract

The digital condition raises new opportunities for citizen participation in decision-making processes and offers new means of interaction that enhance collective organization and political action. In the design of public policies for cities, it is the time for inclusion and creation of new forms of power distribution among people and organizations involved in technopolitical processes. This article describes the survey and analysis of technopolitical devices created via bottom-up, within the scope of the Neighbourhoods and Zones of Priority Intervention (BIP/ZIP) program of the Municipality of Lisbon. The methodology adopted is based on the definition of a set of criteria for reading the technopolitical tools, the actors involved, the means used and their political purposes. The study allows a critical reflection on the role of the digital dimension in the articulation and expansion of participation in the territories, between partner entities and communities. The results underline the pertinence of the design of an observatory capable of monitoring the impact of the BIP/ZIP program in the city of Lisbon.
