If citizens don't come to your town hall...

A time-consuming endeavour

Going from capturing your citizens' input to delivering a final report to the council takes time... too much time.

Always the same, small audiences

It always seems to be the same small group of citizens that shows up at your neighbourhood meetings.

... we bring the town hall to your citizens.

"I am immensely pleased that so many people made their voices heard and shared their ideas with us. The numerous positive ideas strengthen our policy and ensure that we can set priorities that reflect reality. The user-friendly and well-arranged platform that Citizenlab has certainly contributed to the success of our participation initiative.”

Mohamed Ridouani

Mayor, City of Leuven

“This is the best way to include citizens in our policy-making. A referendum has a much bigger impact than anything that is discussed in the city council. We want to organise a referendum like this every year, and we’re going to ask our citizens what they want to vote about.”

Vincent Van Quickenborne

Mayor of Kortrijk

“We have chosen Citizenlab as a partner because they provide a plug-and-play system that doesn't require a very technical background to get started. As a smaller municipality, it is good that we can focus our resources on getting the platform out to the citizens. Moreover, we are pleased with the ongoing dialogue we have with CitizenLab about adapting and developing the platform so that it also fits the political reality in a Danish municipality. The team is very responsive to new ideas and thoughts.”
