Datorită Decidim, la Barcelona am reuşit să coelaborăm un plan de oraş strategic împreună cu cetăţenii. În 2016 am inaugurat Planul de acțiune municipal sub forma unui proces participativ prin Decidim Barcelona. În prezent, acest plan include aproape 7 000 de propuneri din partea cetățenilor. Unul dintre avantajele utilizării acestei platforme este că puteţi monitoriza în orice moment stadiul punerii în aplicare a propunerilor aprobate.

Apreciem că este construită pe democrație și, prin urmare, democrația este un obiectiv important. Principiile democratice precum responsabilitatea, egalitatea și transparența se află în centrul proiectării.

We suffer under a lack of public space. It's particularly important that we reclaim these public spaces for us. Open platforms such as Decidim do exactly that. Is not only that is open source so other people can fork it, reuse it and build a process. It also has these values that we want to reflect in our society encoded in the way it's designed.
