Abstract (EN): In this article it is proposed the establishment of a local funding system. This initiative, besides its strictly economic objective, is aimed to involve residents in local development investments through the participation in these funds, stimulate creative urban ideas, and develop a feeling of legitimated individual participation in the city development. However, much has to be done in what concerns law and urban regulations, as well as administrative coordination in order to assure this financial system to be a success not only for the local-area residents, but also to the city as a whole.
