Zebras for life
The initiative "Zebras for Life" was born in Colombia as a way of prioritizing pedestrians over cars and recovering the public space, and years later, found its way to the State of Nuevo León, in Mexico, through civil society organizations. This participatory mechanism plans and carries out artistic interventions in the streets as a way of not only signaling crosswalks but also as a vindication of the right to the city. On March 18th, 2018, it was implemented for the first time in Tlalpan, a borough of Mexico City.

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?
