During the government of the Partido Acción Nacional (PAN) in Nuevo León (1997-2003) there were some difficulties to fix a space of democratic deliberation specifically in the policies of urban development. This caused the activation, in the public sphere, of organizations form the civil society, such as the Asociación de Vecinos y Comerciantes de la av. Venustiano Carranza and the Alianza por San Pedro. The cases, in spite of having a different trajectory, show the importance of conceding a deliberative space in public decisions so as to sustain democratic governability.
