Collaborative planning promotes the participation of diverse stakeholders in urban planning decisions through more inclusive negotiation processes. Within this context, this research focuses on the Viennese model as an innovative example of Central European urban strategies. In Vienna, the office Arenas Basabe Palacios has been involved in collaborative processes for the last fifteen years. Based on these experiences, a taxonomy of collaborative planning is developed, illustrating its application as an alternative to conventional planning models. Given the growing interest in Spain, it is necessary to understand the current planning system in order to incorporate collaborative values in the methodology and tools, promoting a more democratic production of our cities.
