Integrated Urban Projects
The Integrated Urban Projects was an instrument of urban intervention created in 2004 within the framework of the Development Plan of the Mayor of Medellín Sergio Fajardo in his Government between 2004 and 2007. The successor Mayor, Alonso Salazar, continued with the development of these Projects and included them in his Development Plan during his term of office between 2008 and 2011. The City of Medellín worked in collaboration with the Urban Development Company of the same city to develop these instruments. With Integrated Urban Projects the community and other national, international and non-governmental organizations could participate in all stages of the urban intervention process for the construction, adaptation and improvement of public spaces, housing, public buildings and parks. The Urban Projects sought to solve specific problems on a territory with the use of development tools and managed to raise the living conditions of the inhabitants of the area and the approach of the municipal administration with the communities.
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?
