Sustainable development projects selected by residents will be funded by the City.
The first phase of the Participatory Budget 2019 runs from February 14th to March 19th. For the first time, and at the request of the inhabitants, this new edition will be eco-citizen: Messins and Messines are invited to propose their project ideas from the angle of sustainable development and urban ecology.
Driven by a real collective dynamic, the 2018 Participatory Budget generated 583 ideas. On arrival, 43 projects chosen by the inhabitants will be implemented during the year 2019.
On the strength of this success, the City of Metz renewed this system from February 14th to November 7th, 2019. The Participatory Budget will thus make it possible to carry out projects dedicated to sustainable development, decided by the inhabitants, in their districts or for the whole city, in order to improve their living environment.
The 5 phases of the 2019 eco-citizen participatory budget
1) Rendez-vous from February 14 to March 19 on metz.fr/jeparticipe to submit ideas!
