Observatory for the right to the city
The Observatory for the Right to the City was created by the civil society organization Ciudad Alternativa in 2010, initially under the name Observatorio de Vivienda y Suelo. Both researchers and civil society organizations participate in monitoring and evaluating housing policies, public services and other policy issues related to the right to the city. The data and analyses published by the Observatory are made available to decision-makers and social organizations in order to increase accountability and to contribute to policy solutions that incorporate the perspectives of citizens directly affected by them.
