Sao Paulo Aberta

São Paulo Aberta (lit. Open São Paulo) is an initiative of the municipal government of São Paulo and was created in 2014. It aims to coordinate, integrate and promote actions compatible to those of an open government in the city of São Paulo through an open digital platform. The city of São Paulo is one of the first cities in the world to adopt an open data platform. The main actions the portal offers are: public online consultations, collaborative discussions, data provision (on the city of São Paulo), the Gabinete Aberto (lit. Open Office Program), where representatives of the municipal executive branch debate about public policies on the network, public hearings and training on open data for citizens.

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?
