RAMIREZ-DE LA CRUZ, Edgar E.  y  CASTILLO-SALAS, Manlio F.. The case of the line 4 of metrobus and managment of collaborative urban networks. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.53, pp.145-169. ISSN 2448-6183.  https://doi.org/10.22136/est002017746.

This paper addresses the effectiveness of urban governance networks. The case study is the management process of the Line 4 of Metrobus, in Mexico City’s downtown. We found that when network structure is not appropriate in terms of its effectiveness, given the context of public policy, managers may use their skills to successfully steer the network to its purposes. It was also found that consensus on which instruments should be used by the network may be as important to manage it properly as the agreement about its global goals. In this context, required network-level competencies were shown to be higher than expected by theory.

Palabras llave : urban management; governance networks; networks management.
