Abstract
The aim of this research is to identify different roles universities can perform when participating in civil society-led initiatives to promote information, citizenship and social accountability in Latin-American cities, especially the initiatives of Rede Nossa São Paulo and Red Ciudadana Nuestra Córdoba. The context for this work takes into consideration the challenges Latin American cities face nowadays, the potential roles of universities to deal with these challenges and the differences between the participation of universities in the two initiatives studied, both of which are members of the Latin American Network for Fair, Democratic and Sustainable Cities and Territories. Based on a descriptive and exploratory research conducted in 2015 in Córdoba and in São Paulo, this work identifies different roles, the motivation around them and the effects of the interaction between the university and the initiatives operating in the cities.
