Roads of the Villa

Roads of the Villa is a platform that allows the public to carry out the monitoring of public works in neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, in order to make visible irregularities in the urbanization processes that also represent breaches in the guarantees and violations to the rights of its inhabitants, as well as to strengthen strategies that promote integration processes. The program uses an online platform, which works on three axes: monitoring of public works, claims for problems in the provision of public services and requests for public information. Through collective digital mapping tools, problems, existing services and missing infrastructure are identified. Based on this identification, collective claims are made to the government authorities, as well as promoting the transparency and monitoring of urbanization agreements and the progress of works committed.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
