Summary/Abstract: The general objective of the present study consists of a comparative analysis regarding the transparency and the citizens’s participation in order to identify good practices at the local level. The paper proposes a framework for websites’ analysis of the Bucharest and the Paris City Halls based on criteria such as the access to information, consultation, and active participation of citizens. Transparency plays a crucial role in enhancing local democracy. Citizens should be informed by the public administration and stimulated to be engaged in the public decision-making process.
