Strategic Planning as a Pillar for Effective Zoning and Participatory Urban Governance, in Coro, Falcón, Venezuela

Strategic planning emerges as a critical tool for effective zoning and participatory urban governance in Coro, Venezuela. This approach goes beyond territorial division to analyze the city's unique heritage, resources, and socioeconomic dynamics, fostering a shared vision that optimizes infrastructure, economic activity, and environmental sustainability while addressing diverse community needs. By involving citizens, civil society organizations, the private sector, and academia in decision-making, strategic planning enhances policy legitimacy, transparency, and adaptability to local realities. While challenges such as economic instability and institutional capacity persist, this framework offers a path to a more organized, sustainable, and equitable Coro with improved quality of life for its inhabitants.
