El diseño de políticas públicas con base en la idea de la otredad y el ejercicio del derecho a la ciudad en el Distrito Metropolitano de Quito- Ecuador

The Ecuadorian State, through the 2008 Constitution of Montecristi, enshrines the right to the city as a fundamental right and guarantees the adoption of policies that allow for its viable exercise through democratic and participatory management. This final Master’s Thesis presents a research project to analyze the effects of the notion of Otherness in the process of public policymaking, so that they serve as mechanisms for the fulfillment of the right to the city in the Quito Metropolitan District. This was done at a exploratory level, aiming to determine the absence and/or ineffectiveness of the exercise of the aforementioned right by means of a diagnosis of public policies enforced during 2019 that show this issue.
