In May 2018, Alain Juppé, Bordeaux’s mayor, wished to implement a participatory budget in order to boost a new dynamic of citizen’s participation by giving the inhabitants the ability of playing a part in the town’s urban project. The distinctive feature is that the rules of the participatory budget was co-develop by members of the municipal majority and opposition in order to bring this tool of citizen participation as widely as possible.
Why such an approach?
In order:
- To bring the citizens closer to public decision,
- To improve social inclusion,
- To arrange the territory according to inhabitants’ needs,
- To polish up the administrative functioning’s image.
At the end, more than 13 300 votes (5% of town’s population) have had elected 41 winning projects, mainly committed to environmental issues. Indeed, Bordeaux’s participatory budget was the only one in France which targeted the topic of sustainable development, so that everyone could participate to the ecologic transition of the town’s territory.
¿Por qué este proceso?
- Para acortar distancias entre ciudadanos y las decisiones públicas.
- Para acentuar la inclusión social.
- Para desarrollar el territorio según las necesidades de sus habitantes.
- Para renovar la imagen del funcionamiento administrativo.

First of all, thank you for your interest in our participatory budget. We are pleased to discuss with you.
Bordeaux’s participatory budget targets the topic of sustainable development, so that everyone could participate to the ecologic transition of the town’s territory. The themes are: ecology, vegetation, economy, sport, mobility / soft mobility, solidarity and social cohesion and education.
The amount available each year to realise citizens’ projects is 2.5 million euros. Participants have more than a month to submit their project. After this deadline, experts of the city analyse if each project respect the criteria and estimate the cost of it. If there is no monetary threshold for the 2019 Edition the participatory budget team is thinking to fix an available amount for each project the next edition After the voting period, projects which receive more votes will be realised by the municipality until the budget allocated of 2.5 million euros is spent.
