Was würdest du tun, wenn du die Verantwortung für ein öffentliches Budget hättest? 💶

Participatory budgeting (PB) ist ein demokratischer Prozess, bei dem die Bürger:innen direkt entscheiden, wie ein bestimmter Teil des öffentlichen Haushalts verteilt werden soll. 🌱🎭🥅

Volt fordert, dass die Bürgerbeteiligung bei der Haushaltsplanung zu einem festen Bestandteil der lokalen Demokratie in ganz Europa wird. 💜🇪🇺

OmaStadi

OmaStadi is Helsinki's way of implementing participatory budgeting. In OmaStadi, you can submit proposals and, through voting, decide how the city uses €10 million. A new round starts in the autumn of 2025, and you can submit proposals on this website from September 22nd to October 5th, 2025. The city will implement the proposals that receive the most votes.

@kottke i think you’d find interesting the experiments on local-government funding allocation workshops (aka Participatory Budgeting) facilitated by Luke Hohmann and others… they even have a book based on the process, results, and challenges on Nee York City.

Real Money, Real Power?

This book reports on a multi-methodological, qualitative study of New York City’s participatory budgeting (PB) process from the perspective of a city resident over time, and provides a ground-level view of the limitations and the potential reform of public finance and budgeting.

The People's Money (2024-2025) - NYC Civic Engagement Commission (CEC)

What is the People's Money?

In 1989, Porto Alegre, Brazil, created #ParticipatoryBudgeting to let citizens decide how to spend public funds, aiming to improve living conditions for the city's poor. This led to major improvements, like better sanitation, schools, and healthcare.

Over time, PB spread worldwide, to places like the U.S., Argentina, Finland, and Taiwan. Programs like L.A. REPAIR and Denver’s People’s Budget show how PB can give power to underrepresented communities.
