Co-production of services, it was developed in the, aiming in including citizens in the delivery
of services, this type that is initiated by state has a collective dimension. And is the most classic

the realities of addressing urban poverty. An alternative way is

An example is about Shack Dwellers international (SDI) their core methods is savings, they
focus on slum upgrading and improving conditions, they mobilize their savings, to co-create
knowledge and data. The tool is joint enumerations and they used knowledge as power

Example 2. Know your city. Dr. showed us a video by Cities Alliance that showed the specific
steps they propose to research enumerate and map and also for local governments the first
one was ….4 use technology, 5 speak up, 6 Use data triangulations. SDI worked in a local and

falling into the same traps as means of participation

Crucial requires a requestioning of roles and power relations within and beyond knowledge
domains. A single perspective is not going to find adequate solutions about how to deal to
particular situations, the need different types of knowledges together finding solutions.

training on listening, getting people to listen and give every one the space they need. There are
different layers. Who can decide on the experts, still a lot of force in it for she is a new way

She also mentioned that showcasing the results, financial support, and systems for facilitating

Sdgs helps how to achieve these goals, one way citizens assemblies, carried by the majority of
