Evidence snapshot for Quito
Quito has implemented several participatory and safety initiatives addressing urban planning and public transport security. GeoCitizen's participatory-GIS land-zoning process engaged 5 neighbourhoods, 7 communities and 3 parishes in developing a legally submitted land-use plan for Ilaló Mountain in 2013, alongside 15 hectares of reforestation. Bájale al Acoso's free SMS harassment reporting system, launched in March 2017, has received over 2,700 reports from public transport riders, resulting in 43 cases referred to prosecutors and 10 convictions. These practices demonstrate Quito's efforts in citizen participation and transit safety, though the evidence does not quantify broader city-wide impacts or longer-term outcomes beyond the documented convictions.
