This paper presents two case studies of volunteered geographic information processes in two different neighborhoods in Mexico City. Both cases deal with citizen empowerment and actions directed for the improvement of their local surroundings. They are constructed in a bottom-up fashion: from the citizens towards the local authorities. A digital platform was developed to support user-generated data collection for both cases; the second being an evolution of the first that incorporates several enhancements. The collection of enough citizen data is useful to focus efforts to negotiate with the authorities in detected regions and matters that need attention. Citizen-generated maps are useful communication tools to convey messages to the authorities, as the identification of these locations and situations provide a better picture of what, from the citizens’ perspective, is significantly deviated from the government’s point of view. The platform incorporates a way to validate official data, a voting strategy as a first approach to assess the credibility of citizen-contributed observations and crowdsourced information on parcel records.
