Evidence snapshot for Mexico City
Laboratorio para la Ciudad (LabCDMX) was an experimental civic-innovation office that ran 50+ experiments between 2013 and 2018, most notably the Mapatón crowdsourcing initiative, which engaged 3,594 participants who collectively mapped 51,308km of informal bus routes over approximately 685,188 minutes of GPS tracking. The office also gathered 42,700 citizen surveys across 1,474 neighbourhoods and collected over 280,000 petition signatures as part of its constitutional drafting process. The lab was discontinued in 2018 following a mayoral transition, though its participatory model subsequently spread across Latin America.
