Participatory budgeting (PB) is a process of democratic deliberation and decision-making, in which ordinary people decide how to allocate part of a public budget. Participatory budgeting allows residents to identify, discuss, and prioritize public spending projects and gives them the power to make real decisions about how money is spent.
In 2018 Durham became the 2nd city in North Carolina to adopt Participatory Budgeting. We are now on our third cycle and continue to improve the process each year.
