The Municipal Decision-Making Wheel (German)

Municipal decision-making processes often take far too long, are complex, or fail to adequately consider sustainability. The Municipal Decision-Making Wheel helps visualise and assess the sustainability impacts of decisions, projects, and initiatives.

The Decision-Making Wheel enables complex decisions to be examined from different perspectives and made more manageable. It brings together all the stakeholders needed to make a decision and promotes transparency throughout the decision-making process.

Thanks to its workshop guides, the Decision-Making Wheel is an interactive tool that can be used by everyone in civil society and local government. It also supports democratic decision-making by encouraging participants to discuss and negotiate their assessments. All related materials are available at www.donut.nexteconomylab.de .

The tool was developed based on the Cornwall Decision Wheel. This video provides an introduction to the tool:
