Problems and Purpose
The Citizen Integration Platform (Plataforma de Integración Ciudadana, PIC) was created to facilitate the process of urban co-creation through citizen participation at different scales: encouraging local improvement at the community level and collecting proposals for citizen advocacy at the national level. The online Agora PIC platform allows citizens to find and participate at each level of the PIC process: issue reporting, proposal presentation, and project implementation. [1]

How it Works: Process, Interaction, and Decision-Making
The PIC process contains three main phases:
- Citizen Dialogue: reporting what can be improved in the country and sharing concerns with others. Completed mostly online.
- Participatory Proposals: Meetings where participants present their proposals and co-create the solution with the community.
- Launching Projects: Review the projects that are in the process of being implemented and who is behind them.[2]
