Lessons learned from the process

Harmonized objectives are maybe the most
important factor:
• Partners are working together
• In our case: role of the city municipality was
crucial

Recognize the unique knowledge of your
partners

Citizens as partners: Citizens can push the
measure (project) forward:
• Easier to overcome the barriers

Administrative capacities are equally
important
