Mapping Santiago
" Mapeando Santiago was a participatory urban transit mapping project, which took place in the city of Santiago de los Caballeros between 2018 and 2019. The project was coordinated by the Inter-American Development Bank and included the contributions of multiple universities, private corporations and local public entities. Mapeando Santiago was a participatory process that culminated in a database with standardized information on the existing routes of semi-formal the public transit service. More than 60 citizens, between students and representatives of associations of women and visually impaired persons, participated by using digital tools for tracing and digitalizing the routes, as well as for the identification of the main flaws and barriers for accessing the system. The project generated an open database to be used to further define local transportation policies. "
