Alessandra Orofino and the Participation Revolution
Rio de Janeiro, a fast-growing megacity, faces challenges of urban disconnection. Activist Alessandra Orofino believes modern city life isolates people, as public spaces disappear and political engagement declines. To reconnect citizens, she co-founded Meu Rio, an online platform enabling residents to stay informed and participate in city decisions. With over 200,000 members, Meu Rio demonstrates the power of digital activism. Orofino hopes similar initiatives will spark a global “participation revolution,” fostering more engaged and connected communities.
This article discusses the challenges and opportunities of city life, especially the growing sense of disconnection among people. Alessandra Orofino points out that while cities provide convenience and job opportunities, they also weaken the connection between citizens and their communities. For example, in Rio de Janeiro, even though voting is mandatory, many people choose to pay a fine instead of participating.
This article discusses the difficulties of urban development while highlighting the crucial role of citizen engagement in fostering community bonds and ensuring democratic decision-making.
Rio de Janeiro is an extremely fast-growing city, home to about half of the world's population, which continues to grow due to the advantages it offers, providing convenience, culture and employment opportunities to its residents. But Orofino believes that modern city life is far from ideal because cities alienate us from each other. As new buildings are built, many public spaces disappear. Without these places, it is difficult for people to socialize and make friends.
In her TED Talk, Alessandra Orofino observes that despite urban areas being densely populated, many residents feel politically disengaged and socially isolated. She emphasizes that by integrating technology with traditional human connections, citizens can become more actively involved in urban governance. Drawing from her experiences in Rio de Janeiro, Orofino illustrates how citizens can influence decisions such as preserving schools, implementing recycling programs, and choosing between cars or public transportation. She advocates that active citizen participation is essential for shaping better urban environments.
