Abstract
This article analyses the necessary conditions for quality participation in drafting municipal master plans for land use. From an analysis conducted on the literature and research (PEREIRA, 2015), we present the elements considered essential for quality participation: political will, participative tradition or density, the existence of institutional conditions and the adherence of urban technicians to the participatory process. In addition to these conditions, the article emphasizes the need for understanding the territory for the implementation of participatory democracy in the development of urban public policies. Finally, the article presents an exemplifying analysis of how these elements were perceived in one particular case: the process of developing the new Master Plan of Florianópolis/SC.
