Peatoniños
"Peatoniños" is an initiative implemented with the aim of giving a response to the alarming number of children who have been victims of road accidents in the Metropolitan Area of Mexico City. Rapid urban growth and a lack of public and green spaces have deeply affected the young population. Peatoniños counteracts these negative effects, ideating, organizing and implementing "playing roads" with the collaboration of citizens, university students, governmental institutions and CDMX's Lab for the City. These participatory spaces do not only function as pedagogical and preventive mechanisms but also seek to empower children and promote the right to the city. Moreover, Peatoniños aims to influence the policymaking process by engaging governmental actors.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
