Several participants in the plenary's early public-comment slot urged officials to prioritize accessibility, participatory governance and data to improve urban planning.

A resident who identified herself as Norma told the plenary at 00:19:18: "La discapacidad no es tenida en cuenta en la ciudad de Bogote1, es vergonzoso y mucho me1s en el transporte pfablico... Las personas adultas no pueden ni siquiera bajar de los articulados." The comment raised transport accessibility as a live concern for daily users.

Milan Espitia (public comment at 00:22:09) reflected on a presentation by Peter Bishop and urged better multilevel governance linking civil society, the state and the private sector, citing Kinge2s Cross as an example of cross-scale governance.

Javiera Saldaf1a (Chile) said data capture and integration are central to planning: she called for tools that allow municipalities to simulate future urban scenarios and provide decision-makers with actionable analysis.

Context and limits: These were unscripted public-comments from attendees and do not represent formal policy decisions. The interventions underscore the themes later taken up by ministers and UN officials (inclusion, data and people-centered technology), but they are appeals and recommendations rather than enacted measures.

Ending: Organizers acknowledged public comments during the plenary; subsequent program items included ministerial addresses that addressed inclusion and data-driven approaches.
