Niterói: “The Niterói We Want” Consultation

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal

The Niterói We Want 2050 public consultation was a participatory process aimed at incorporating citizens’ visions and priorities into the update of the municipality’s long-term strategic planning. Conducted between June 30 and November 10, 2025, the initiative also contributed to the development of the Multi-Year Plan (PPA). To meet the legal timeline of this instrument, an initial cut-off of the consultation was made on August 4, 2025, allowing part of the contributions to inform medium-term planning and align it with societal demands.

The methodology combined different participation tools to broaden social engagement. These included an online public consultation, digital participation through the Colab app, in-person outreach activities across different areas of the city, mobilization at institutional and community events, and the “Creating the Niterói of Tomorrow” drawing contest, which engaged public school students in reflecting on the city’s future. In partnership with the Municipal Secretariat of Social Participation, teams worked directly in neighborhoods, especially in underserved communities, reducing barriers to participation.

The process mobilized 13,613 contributions, significantly increasing participant diversity. Among respondents, 54.3% were residents of communities, 55.5% were women, and 59.7% identified as Black (preta and parda). The consultation also included 4.4% participation from persons with disabilities, close to the 6.2% recorded in the municipality according to IBGE. This strategy helped balance territorial participation and include groups historically underrepresented in participatory processes. It became the largest public consultation focused on municipal planning. The collected contributions informed the definition of priorities and projects included in the updated strategic plan and the Multi-Year Plan.

The process involved cross-departmental collaboration within the municipal administration, strengthening coordination across public policies and reinforcing a culture of social participation in Niterói. In this way, the initiative contributes to improving the quality of public decision-making, enhancing transparency, aligning planning with citizens’ needs, and consolidating participatory democracy mechanisms in municipal governance.
