The process of building an urban agenda should be characterized by rigor and plurality. Only in this way we can guarantee a participative process in which territorial agents feel involved in both the construction and the subsequent development of the action plan. Building the future is not something that should be undertaken with frivolity or with errors that negatively influence the perception of the process. More than four hundred social leaders, politicians from two countries (Spain and Portugal) who discussed and validated the process of the Urban Agenda of Eixo Atlantico, guarantee its transparency and governance. But before that, a last-generation document with an integral vision that built the global from the local level had to be elaborated. And in this task we have been lucky to count on the contribution of relevant people from the main areas involved in an Urban Agenda. The result is a summary document that must not forget the contributions on which it is based. That is why we wanted to bring to light, in the form of complementary materials, the high-level contributions on the basis of which the final document was written. We believe that each one of them, not only has a high level of knowledge and reflection, but is fundamental to understand the final document and the process that led to it. 1.
