|description=A local project adivsory board is made out of local people e.g. shop owners, residents as well as people from the administration.

On the other hand, transparent communication of the outcomes of advisory board meetings and reference to the board’s recommendations or resolutions can also generate greater public support.

|name=Crowd Funding
|description=Crowdfunding — and specifically civic crowdfunding — is an approach where communities, individuals, and organizations collectively finance local public projects through online platforms, often in combination with contributions from municipalities, foundations, or companies.
|hypothesis=When a project demonstrates grassroots financial support, it signals to governments and foundations that there is genuine demand, making it easier to unlock matching grants or co-funding. This combination of crowd capital and institutional backing is what makes civic crowdfunding particularly powerful as a tool against funding gaps.

|name=Gamification of climate friendly behaviour
|description=Gamification is the application of game-design mechanics — such as points, rewards, competitions, challenges, and progress tracking — to non-game contexts in order to motivate behaviour change. In the context of urban sustainability and mobility, it turns everyday choices like taking public transport, cycling, or saving energy into visible, rewarding actions that feel meaningful and fun rather than obligatory.
|hypothesis=Stuck in behaviour habits

Gamification makes the alternative behaviour immediately rewarding, creates social pressure and competition, and builds new routines through repetition and positive reinforcement.

|name=Onboarding framework
|description=The Onboarding Framework is a structured yet flexible tool designed to help grassroots civil society initiatives welcome and integrate new volunteers with as little friction as possible.

The framework helps initiatives answer three core questions: What does a new volunteer need to know, feel, and do to get started? Where do their skills and interests fit best? And how can the organization make that first step feel easy, welcoming, and worthwhile?
By providing a clear path from curiosity to commitment, the Onboarding Framework reduces dropout at the earliest stage, builds a sense of belonging from day one, and ensures that volunteer energy is channeled effectively — strengthening the initiative's capacity from the bottom up.
|hypothesis=It guides first-time participants step by step — from their very first moment of interest to their first meaningful contribution — ensuring that no one falls through the cracks simply because the entry point felt unclear or overwhelming.

|name=Tree Budget Graz
|description=Tree budget Graz is an innovative financing model introduced by the City of Graz to systematically fund the planting and maintenance of urban trees. It draws from three sources: compensation fees collected under the city's tree protection ordinance (which requires replanting or financial compensation when trees are removed), voluntary tree sponsorships open to individuals and companies, and project-specific budget approvals by the city council. Together, these streams create a dedicated financial pool that ensures greening efforts are not dependent on a single, uncertain budget line.
|hypothesis=Municipalities often struggle to prioritize tree planting when budgets are tight and responsibilities are fragmented. The Baumbudget directly addresses this lock-in by institutionalizing multiple, complementary revenue streams, making funding for greening more resilient and less vulnerable to political or fiscal fluctuations.

|name=Streetgames
|description=How your neighbourhood should look like should be a concern of everybody living there, right? In reality it can be hard getting in touch with people about this topic. Especially if they have a different social or cultural background than you. The initiative "MeiMeidling" faced this challenge and had a breakthrough: They blocked an alley from cars and organised street games. Especially the big skipping rope was loved by the kids. In no time the parents joined. For the first time members of the initative talked to neighbours, that were strangers to them until this moment. Knowing your neighbours does not only increase life quality but also paves the way for better communication about how this neighbourhood should look like in the future.
|hypothesis=Temporarily opening streets for games makes people reimagine streets. Streetgames can foster human connection and improve communication about how this neighbourhood should look like in the future.

Thanks to a collaboration between the district Alsergund, the Technical University Vienna and the LA21 the schoolstreet was completely transformed.

The district covered the cost for the material. The project cost a fracture of what it would have cost if a team of professional carpenters had done it.
