San Borja Green Walkways
San Borja's Green Walkways is an initiative led by students and lecturers from the University of Chile, which seeks to restore concrete structures in the Torres de San Borja neighborhood and turn them into a public recreational park. For this purpose, neighbors, representatives of civil society organizations and the private sector were invited to participate. Citizens presented ideas for revaluing the area, and carried out cleaning, planting, and maintenance tasks. They also organized cultural activities to promote the use of the walkways.
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?
