Abstract
Over the past thirty years, cultural policy efforts in the United States moved from the national to the local level. This change created the need to integrate cultural policy into the overall urban policymaking process. Building from the literature about participatory democracy, this case study of Madison, Wisconsin, explores two possible scenarios of how a Geographical Information System (GIS) could be utilized to integrate cultural policy in the city policymaking process while empowering the public to participate. First, GIS offers a map to educate the public about the structure of urban policymaking; second, GIS organizes comparative data to inform the public about the current situation of their community. The paper concludes with a word of caution about participatory theory.
