1. Why this toolbox?
The “Toolbox for City Changers” is for people who want to make their neighbourhood safer, greener, more inclusive and more resilient to climate change, and need practical tools to do so. It brings together experiences from Vienna, Berlin and Ljubljana [from x, y and z, each contributing this and that].
This handbook is for everyone asking:
How can we make our city more liveable?
All following chapters help answer this question step by step.
