Legislative Map

The "Legislative Map" is a project of the Rede Nossa Sao Paulo with the support of the Ágora Institute to follow up on the bills (port. PL) presented by the Councilors in the Municipal Chamber. The website uses open databases of the legislature to identify all PL submitted, under treatment, archived or approved, and systematizes this information to make it available for citizens. In addition, the internal project team categorizes the PLs according to 12 thematic axes and assigns them scores on a scale from -3 to +3, according to whether they represent important setbacks or relevant advances in relation to the subject in question. The axes are: Governance; Public Assets; Equity, Social Justice and Peace; Sustainability; Urban planning; Culture; Education; Local Economy; Consumption; Mobility; Health; and Local to Global.

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?
