A Inovação Social em Experiências de Mobilidade Urbana: Análise na perspectiva dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável.

This paper aims to analyze social innovation through the implementation of an initiative of the Municipal city hall of São Paulo, focused on active mobility, in the homeschool walking commute: the Safe Route to School (Rota Escolar Segura) program. Documentary research and semi-structured interviews were carried out. Categories and variables for social innovation analysis were applied, relating them to the Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs. Social innovation involves the co-creation of new services/products and is shaped by the interactions between the main stakeholders. In the case studied, participation in co-construction and codesign occurred through feedback and ideas. The co-creation is highlighted in the actions to obtain community involvement, evaluate the acceptance of the project proposal and identify potential points of improvement not foreseen in the pilot project, participatory workshops, informative and interactive panels, preparation and approval of the temporary intervention project, and joint discussion and analysis involving third sector organizations and municipal agencies. The new urban design, with requalification and redistribution of the road space, consolidated the reduction of speeds, prioritizing active mobility, ensuring that society is the beneficiary by appropriating the results of innovation. The results of the research are aligned, above all, with SDG 16, with regard to transparency and social participation, with SDG 11, by the search for improvement of spaces for active and sustainable mobility, and with SDG 13 by the tendency to improve environmental quality.
