The following rules apply to the distribution of the budget:

Watch this video on how to vote.
You must choose one of the four districts (Zurich North, East, South or West). You can only vote in one district (you do not need to reside in that district).
Once you select your first idea, you will need to confirm your account. You can find more information about this here.
In order to vote, you have to select at least 5 ideas. In this way, we want to enable votes for ideas that may have had less exposure than others.
The total budget allowance for each district may not be exceeded. You can find the budget allowance for your chosen district below.
Please be encouraged to spend as much of the budget as possible.
Each project that you select will get one vote once you select the "Vote" button. When voting finishes (7th November), the projects will be ranked by total number of votes. We will fund in descending order of popularity as many ideas as the budget will allow. There will be no partial funding. Any remaining amounts will expire.

Trees for the weans

The city is a living museum of architecture and plant life. Whilst many buildings of interest have plaques or information boards detailing information about them for the public, not many (or any?) 'trees of interest' have anything like this. I think this is a great shame as knowing a little more about the green life around us would improve our relationship with it. Personally, I spend a lot of my time walking past some of Zurich's glorious trees and wondering things like how old it is or what type of tree it is. Thus, I think it would be very educational for children and adults alike to have plaques or information boards next to selected trees/bushes to help make them more visible and alive to all of us. I would do this by hiring a tree specialist (I am not one) to identify the trees. This information would then be passed onto a designer who would design the information boards per tree. I'd hope to implement this for at least 10 trees in East Zurich.
