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.
This article mainly describes that citizens and democracy are the key to promoting urban and regional development. The urban environment is not only the responsibility of the government, but also the responsibility of citizens.
The development of a city, whether good or bad, depends entirely on the participation and interaction of its citizens. If every resident of a city remains indifferent to one another, the city can only maintain a state that is neither good nor bad. Over time, as the population grows, the city’s original appearance will gradually deteriorate. Therefore, for a city to thrive, the active involvement of its citizens is essential.
This passage explores the advantages and challenges of modern city life, particularly the decline in civic engagement. While cities offer convenience, culture, and job opportunities, people are becoming increasingly disconnected from their communities, as seen in the decreasing voter turnout. This makes me reflect on the importance of not only focusing on economic growth and infrastructure but also fostering a sense of participation and belonging among residents to create truly livable cities.
This passage highlights the disconnection in modern cities. While cities offer jobs and convenience, many residents feel detached. Low political participation in Rio shows this issue. Orofino’s Meu Rio project encourages citizen involvement, showing that engagement can make cities more connected and democratic.
This article talks about the challenges and opportunities of living in a city, especially the increasing feeling of disconnection among people.

For example, in Rio de Janeiro, even though voting is required by law, many people prefer to pay the fine rather than actually vote.
This article discusses the difficulties and solutions encountered in urban development, because the issue of citizens not going out to vote emphasizes the importance of citizen participation and democratic decision-making.
She encouraged everyone not to just complain, but to take action and use collective power to make the government hear the people's voice and create a more livable urban environment.
The rapid growth of cities has led to problems, with the connection between people and their cities becoming increasingly distant. The lack of public spaces in cities reduces social opportunities, making it harder for residents to build close community relationships.
Many of the reasons why people today lack interest in voting are apathy towards politics and the fact that they only feel important during elections, which makes everyone unwilling to continue voting, leading to a significant drop in voter turnout. However, other politicians have provided many different plans and hope that people will also have more opportunities to participate in public affairs and truly make people feel that they can contribute to the society of this country. More communication will make the country better, elect better leaders, lead the country forward, and build an excellent democratic society.

It discusses urban activist Alessandra Orofino’s views on city life, focusing on issues like disconnection among people, low voter turnout, and the disappearance of public spaces.
Alessandra Orofino thinks big cities have problems. People don’t feel connected, and many don’t vote. As cities grow, there are fewer public spaces, so it’s harder to meet people. To help, she started Meu Rio, a website where people can share their opinions and help make decisions. Many people use it now, and she hopes more cities will do the same.
Not voting allows a small group of people to decide the future for the majority, weakening democratic representation. Low civic engagement may lead to a lack of government oversight, increasing policy opacity and the risk of corruption. Active voting is crucial to ensuring social fairness and the proper functioning of democracy—every vote matters.
