Jelgava – Improving Neighbourhoods
Due to cultural and historical occurrences, in some cities, the dialogue between citizens and the government has not existed for many years and is only appearing slowly in recent times. Trust in the government to take the citizens' concerns with a certain level of seriousness has been low, whereas also no direct engagement channels to co-create sustainable solutions with the citizens have existed before. The WeSolve platform has been utilised with the goal to increase the sense of community and belonging within the city of Jelgava, Latvia. Through three engagement rounds, the citizens could give their opinions in various polls and surveys about how they identify with the city, its history, and if they believe what could be done to create a community.
