Initiative meets district politics

Citizens' initiatives can meet with district or city politicians to present and discuss their concerns. In district politics, no petition or formal basis is necessary for this; district politicians are usually open to discussion. It is important that the initiative is not politically appropriated by opposition parties and that the possibility of joint implementation with the district is communicated.

Place Standard

The Place Standard tool provides a simple framework to structure conversations about place. It allows you to think about the physical elements of a place (e.g. its buildings, spaces, and transport links) as well as the social aspects (e.g. whether people feel they have a say in decision making). The tool provides prompts for discussions, allowing you to consider all the elements of place in a methodical way. The tool pinpoints the assets of a place as well as areas where a place could improve.
