Report
This report examines two case studies — the Care System in Bogotá, Colombia, and the Rogers Park Community Response Team in Chicago, USA — to demonstrate how global cities at the metropolitan and neighbourhood scale embraced participatory governance frameworks when responding to COVID-19 and its unforeseen consequences.
Although both cases are situated within the context of COVID-19, their policy implications and impact on the community extend beyond the pandemic. Considered together, these programmes show a spectrum of strategies in participatory governance and offer lessons to help improve service efficiency, increase social inclusion and empower communities to take action and make their voices heard.
