t Madrid suffered a major political (even social and media) disputes during 2005 and 2006 as a result of certain measures to traffic deterrent (parking meter system expansion from a small central area to a large part of the city) This dispute was resolved by agreement between the neighborhood associations and the Council to start a dialogue (through a “Mobility Roundtable”) to try to avoid hereafter this kind of conflicts.Mobility Foundation (belonged to City Council) was commissioned to design and implement this table, that became an instrument of governance beyond the specific conflict of parking meters. The principal challenges were : 1) to create a first framework accepted by every key agents with regard to several issues: composition, rules, objectives; 2) get a first climate of confidence in the functioning; 3) consolidate this process forward.


Handicaps

& Comp

osition

The handicaps were, above all: A climate of generalized mistrust Previous experiences that lead to greater conflicted, increased even by the media Lack of culture of constructive dialogue in the governance of “everyday politics” (beyond and in spite of Spanish success in the governance of the Big Issues during our democratic transition) …logical consequence of the lack of democratic spontaneity and tradition Applicability to Latin America and Caribbean All those handicaps: largely shared with Latin American cities and societies The proverbial “Latin (American o European) sociability” does not get a translation for collective issues The difficulty of importing dialogue tools from countries with another character and tradition
