Anyone aged 13 or over can use the OmaStadi website to submit suggestions for the development of the city.  

Before you submit your suggestion, make sure to utilise the “Information about districts” pages. When you learn more about your residential area, you can prepare a suggestion that has a purpose and will benefit as many residents as possible. The website contains statistics about residents and local services. You can also find the city’s regional plans on the site. In addition, you can find price examples of what a particular service provided by the city or an improvement related to the environment, for example, costs.

In early October, the city will host many events where you can brainstorm suggestions together with other city residents. You can also submit your own suggestion for the development of the city.  

You can submit your suggestion electronically on the OmaStadi website. In order to submit a suggestion, you must register as a user in the service. If you are submitting a suggestion as a group, you need to select one person who submits the suggestion on the site. The city informs those who have submitted suggestions on the progress of the OmaStadi process and invites them to participate in the development of the OmaStadi suggestions to be implemented.
