The UCISV-SEE Housing Program for the Peripheral Areas of Xalapa
The UCISV-SEE Housing Program for the Peripheral Areas of Xalapa is a project designed to improve the housing, urban conditions and quality of life of the residents of 80 irregular settlements located in the outskirts of the city of Xalapa, Veracruz. The project uses participatory planning methods. Through joint work with the government of the state of Veracruz and the city of Xalapa, the program has managed to grant land and urban services. The initial plan has grown significantly and now includes a housing project, a women-led savings plan, and a community service, nutrition and education project.

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?
