End of 2011: the founding of the city initiative
The city of Rotterdam is organizing a new administrative tool called ‘The City Initiative’. Through a competition, the municipality wants to increase the involvement of citizens in urban planning. Every citizen of Rotterdam has been invited to present an urban plan which will improve the quality of life in the city. The reward for the winner will be financial funding to realize the project.
