The best ideas come from us. OurCity.

OmaStadi is Helsinki's way of implementing participatory budgeting. In OmaStadi, you can submit proposals and, through voting, decide how the city uses €10 million. A new round starts in the autumn of 2025, and you can submit proposals on this website from September 22nd to October 5th, 2025. The city will implement the proposals that receive the most votes.
