The City of Tampere offers residents a wide range of ways to participate and influence the city and its services.
You can get involved by answering surveys, giving feedback, participating in urban planning meetings and commenting on plans, participating in various development workshops and Tampere Residents' Evenings. You can also influence the city by organising events or other activities yourself.
– The Participation in Tampere survey will help us to find out, for example, how well people in Tampere know about these different ways for participation. At the same time, they can tell us how they would like the city to communicate current opportunities for participation and their results. The survey also measures respondents' confidence in their own ability to make a difference, says Planning officer Lotta Harsunen.
– We are hoping for a wide range of responses from a wide range of residents. Even if you are a little unsure about what to say, you can still respond to the survey, encourages Harsunen.
The Participation in Tampere survey is open from 4 to 17 November 2024 and can be answered by all Tampere residents, regardless of their age.
The online form is the primary way to respond. You can also fill in a paper form at the main library in Metso (Pirkankatu 1) and at the Tampere Service Point (Frenckellinaukio 2 B). The online questionnaire can be answered in Finnish or English.
The questionnaire is answered anonymously, and no one can be identified from the answers. There will be a draw for movie tickets, so if you want to participate in the draw, please leave your contact details at the end of the questionnaire.
A summary of the responses will be published on the city's website in early 2025.
