The neighborhood platform of the city of Zurich

The diverse organisations in the neighbourhoods make a significant contribution to the high quality of life and an active city life. MeinQuartier.Zuerich provides these different organisations with a common platform for networking, information and exchange with the population.

The platform is based on the open source software Decidim.org and, thanks to its modular structure, offers various possibilities for interaction, from simple surveys to complex participation processes with the possibility of voting.

The creation of a digital neighbourhood platform was a frequently expressed wish on the part of the neighbourhoods. With this offer, the City of Zurich wants to test whether MeinQuartier.Zuerich actually meets a need in the neighbourhoods. The pilot project is scheduled to run until the end of 2023, after which - provided it meets a continuing need - it will be transferred to a permanent operation. The neighborhood platform is a pilot project as part of the strategic focus "Testing Smart Participation".

The platform is based on the example of the Dialogue Lucerne platform and benefits from its preliminary work. There is a close exchange with the project in Lucerne.
