Make an impact now

We are all needed in the planning, decision-making and implementation of the city's future. The resident has the right to participate in managing common matters. The resident of the city can express their opinion in surveys. This page gathers information about all surveys and other participation opportunities that are currently taking place in the city.

How would you spend 100,000 euros?

Participatory budgeting is collecting ideas from residents on how to spend 100,000 euros. You can vote for the best ideas submitted by City residents starting Monday, January 5, 2026. See ideas at allustu.riihimaki.fi.

Participatory budgeting means that residents come up with ideas and decide on the use of shared money. It is also worth brainstorming proposals together in the neighborhood, school classes, associations and hobby groups.
