Lima’s slum settlements are the result of a system of land occupation and self¬construction. In Perù authoritarian regimes encouraged participation as a mean to build political support. The participatory budgeting was established with the aim of reducing poverty, concertation between local authorities and civil society, ensure civic monitoring and efficient allocation of resources. The study shows how the process is clearly top-down, with a clear asymmetry of power between the actors involved.

Keywords: participatory budgeting; suburbs; democracy; GIS.
