Coordinator of investment and innovation for the municipal initiative to create a long-term development strategy - Vision Sofia 2050. The goal is to achieve a shared idea about the future of Sofia and the steps necessary to get there.The Vision is being shaped by facilitating involvement and stimulating informed decision making. The former means involving all interest groups from the very beginning in the decision making process: public administration, NGOs, investors, researchers, experts, entrepreneurs and citizens. The latter means structuring the decision making process on data analysis that covers all aspects of city life. The end result is to be a shared idea of a common future of the city, which has been developed through an informed dialogue and a resilient system of interaction.The Vision team also coordinates the work of experts who summarise all existing data, draw conclusions and advise on the need of further research. In order to achieve maximum involvement and an informed discussion, the Vision team develops online and offline platforms for interaction between public administration, NGOs, investors, researchers, experts, entrepreneurs and citizens. The platforms facilitate the collection of further information about the current state of Sofia and ideas about its development. The team encourages all interest groups to share ideas and to take concrete actions.The creation of the Vision started in September 2017 and is planned to last for two years. The process passes through a number of consecutive steps. Data gathering, research and analysis, as well as surveys lead to targeted information campaigns and public debates, which on their side influence the formation of the Vision’s targets that at the end get checked against the will for commitment of as many people as possible in order to define a sustainable and shared Vision. The result is to function as a basis for lasting interaction and a guideline for Sofia’s strategic development.
