Data collection / counting
Data substantiates perceptions and can be used for external communication.
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.
Joint Survey
Initiatives, together with political decision-makers, survey the public about the initiative and its demands.
Scientific evidence for specific demands
Initiatives are specifying their demands and backing them up with scientific findings (e.g., demand for 50 km of bicycle lanes by 2030).
