OmaStadi is the City of Helsinki’s way of providing participatory budgeting services. Helsinki has allocated 8.8 million euros to realising residents’ wishes. The ideas are developed together into proposals that Helsinki residents can vote on. The proposals with the most votes are realised by the City.

Residents’ feedback is used to develop and improve the City of Helsinki’s operations and services. With the feedback form, you can give feedback, ask questions or read other people’s feedback.
