An assembly is a group of members of an organization who meet periodically to make decisions about a specific area or scope of the organization.
Assemblies hold meetings, some are private and some are open. If they are open, it is possible to participate in them (for example: attending if the capacity allows it, adding points to the agenda, or commenting on the proposals and decisions taken by this organ).
Examples: A general assembly (which meets once a year to define the organisation's main lines of action as well as its executive bodies by vote), an equality advisory council (which meets every two months to make proposals on how to improve gender relations in the organisation), an evaluation commission (which meets every month to monitor a process) or a guarantee body (which collects incidents, abuses or proposals to improve decision-making procedures) are all examples of assemblies.
Citizens’ Assembly on Housing
Deliberating together on the right to housing and future housing policies.
About this assembly
A citizens’ assembly focused on diagnosing housing challenges and co-creating policy recommendations to guarantee the right to decent, affordable housing.
The Citizens’ Assembly on Housing brings together a diverse group of residents, stakeholders, and experts to deliberate on the housing situation in the city. The assembly aims to generate inclusive and informed recommendations to improve access to housing, address affordability, and shape future housing policies.
This space is grounded in deliberative democracy and open participation. It combines public input with expert knowledge, thematic working groups, and structured decision-making tools. The topics include rental regulation, public housing, evictions, cooperative housing, and the use of vacant properties.
Anyone can follow the work of the assembly, respond to consultations, attend public meetings, and submit proposals. Some participants are selected by lot to ensure demographic diversity, while others join through open calls.
