Value description
A participatory city does not approach the public administration authoritatively, but instead gives space for some degree of involvement to all who are interested in it. A participating city provides good quality information about public activities, it is not afraid to take advantage of the knowledge of representatives of universities and practical experts, it surveys opinions of citizens on important political decisions, is interest in feedback and allows citizens to decide directly on part of its funds within participative budgeting.
Contribution to the city
Public awareness will be ensured thanks to a unified information portal, which will clearly and structurally present the planned and implemented projects of the city; this will as well provide an entrance area for involvement in participation activities. Coordinated involvement of experts from universities, practice and from abroad, and creation of space for expert dialogue will ensure the improvement of the quality of public administration outcome. These changes will lead to an increase in the quality of life in the city and in satisfaction of its residents.
