Observatory for the Right to the City
The Observatory for the Right to the City is a space promoted in Buenos Aires and developed by members of civil society organizations, with the objective of influencing urban policies, including stakeholders usually excluded from public policy considerations, thus helping to guarantee the right to the city. They use participatory methodologies such as assemblies, marches, meetings. They have also generated a collaborative map for reporting conflicts. The central objective is to gather collaborations aimed at the elaboration of a Charter of the Right to the City.
