Open Bogotá
Open Bogotá is a virtual platform for the citizens of Bogotá to propose and share ideas and make proposals for solutions to the challenges facing the city. The innovation was initially created by the city government in 2015, at the end of Mayor Gustavo Petro?s term and since 2016 was taken up by the incoming Mayor Enrique Peñalosa for discussion of the District Development Plan. The Development Plan was put forward for citizen consideration from March to April 2016. Using the platform, citizens can create new challenges, in which the other participants make proposals for solutions and vote, share or comment on the other participants, for which one can win points. The initiative has had more than 20 000 contributions from more than 7000 citizens, and the best and most viable proposals have the possibility of being included in the District Development Plan.
