Is PB methodology similar in rural and urban areas?

The methodologies commonly used in urban areas have to be adjusted to the rural context, in order to take into account the distances involved, the relative isolation of the communities and their demands, which are normally different from those in urban areas. The main differences have to do with the smaller size of the assemblies, the need for transportation of the participants and taking into account a culture of self-help for the execution of the projects. Another option chosen by rural municipalities is that of initiating the Participatory Budget on the basis of a development plan for the rural area, in order to define the overall priorities and only then introduce participatory budgeting.
