Drawing from the mobilization of stakeholders around the International Urban Design Workshop (IUDW) conducted in Ayacucho in 2019, this paper aims to reflect on participatory processes and the application of participatory methodologies in local processes. The analysis builds upon the Participatory Research-Action framework and the concepts of interculturalism and “glocalization”. The IUDW promotes dialogue, deliberation, and exchange of knowledge among stakeholders as a strategy to generate urban design intervention proposals that address local issues. Despite the methodology’s promises, this case study highlights the challenge of social participation in a context of weak institutions and persistent social inequalities.
