Participatory Budgeting in Oulu in 2024
This year, the citizens may present ideas and vote on them to determine how the city will spend 240 000 € to improve comfort and community in Oulu.
About this process
The results of the city of Oulu’s 2024 Participatory Budgeting vote have been settled.
In May 2024, the citizens of Oulu voted on which proposals the city will implement with the participatory budgeting’s total budget of 240 000 €.
There was a total of 68 proposals up for vote for different parts of the city, and 33 proposals were chosen by vote for implementation.
The smallest winning proposals this year were priced at 2 000 €, and the largest 25 000 €. The citizens of Oulu voted for the smaller budgeted proposals even though the total budget this year was more than three times larger than before.
The majority of the proposals that will be implemented apply to many neighborhoods. This year, more fixed-term activities, such as events and hobby activities, will be implemented with Participatory Budgeting than before.
You can see the shares of votes for each proposal on the Osallistu Oulu website.
All winning proposals will be implemented during the year 2024. You can follow the implementation progress on the Osallistu Oulu website.
The goal of Participatory Budgeting is to increase the citizens’ influencing and participating opportunities as well as increasing dialogue between the citizens and the city.
A huge thank you to everyone who participated in the ideation and the vote! Oulu’s Participatory Budgeting will begin again next year with a new idea period!
