Citizens' initiatives for urban development
Alytus
Lithuania
In Alytus (LT), groups of at least 16 people can propose projects to install infrastructure in particular urban areas, such as a children's playground, a dog walking area, or a new green space. After collecting all the proposals, the municipality evaluates the legal and technical possibilities for their implementation. For initiatives with no such obstacles, a voting procedure is launched. During the voting, residents have the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the initiatives and express their opinions. The initiative with the most votes is implemented by the city.
