Map of Inequalities
The Map of Inequalities is an initiative to monitor the quality of life in the city of Sao Paulo, carried out by Rede Nossa Sao Paulo on an annual basis since 2013. This civil society organization collects various data sources and indicators to generate maps of the city that reflect different aspects and degrees of inequality, particularly in terms of access to basic goods such as water or electricity, and the quality of public services, such as health care and public education. In this way, they seek to draw attention to distribution problems in access to resources regarding the different city areas in which the citizens of the most populated and richest city in Brazil live.
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?
