TOOL
Making specific demands that are backed up by scientists
Short description

The "Platz für Wien" Initiative had a lasting impact on Vienna because they specified their demands and backed them up with scientific findings (e.g., demand for 50 km of bicycle lanes by 2030). They even has scientists speaking up for them, which made their demands even more valid.

Unlock-hypothesis

On the one hand, it is important that the demands are specific so that people can understand what they mean. On the other hand, politicians need a scientific basis in order to be able to respond to demands.
