Carlos M. Jardon, Gierhake K.
Social innovation is key to improving the territories, especially in
developing countries. This paper analyzes the elements of local knowledge that facilitate
the generation of social innovations in the case of the Municipal District of
Quito (DMQ). Local knowledge is analyzed in three dimensions: human, structural
and relational. It is shown that all of them are a source of social innovations, being
at the base of the organizational reform, territorial structure, the digital agenda and
the process of diffusion of these innovations to other territories.
