John Rossant, founder of The New Cities Foundation, highlights examples like Madrid, where residents have a say in allocating nearly 300 million euros of public investment, reflecting growing public demand for involvement. This participatory approach, sometimes called crowdcitizenship or crowdurbanism, represents a shift toward more inclusive urban governance.\n\nExperts argue for a rebalancing of roles among public institutions, companies, and individuals in city management. The governance model is evolving from the traditional Triple Helix\u2014comprising administrations, universities, and companies\u2014to a Quadruple Helix that incorporates civil society through neighborhood associations. Moreover, a Quintuple Helix model is emerging, adding the natural environment as a key stakeholder, aligning with principles of sustainable development and social ecology. The Future Trends Forum emphasizes the necessity of long-term planning that transcends political cycles. Successful urban transformation depends on cooperation among all stakeholders, including residents, and a sustained vision that can adapt to future challenges.","_oaas_audio_url":"https:\/\/www.fundacionbankinter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/summary-14352-1764628622.mp3"},"categories":[],"class_list":["post-14352","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!--
