“A committee of eight, you say?”. “Indeed! The Place des 24 Arpents neighborhood in Neuilly-sur-Marne takes its community council quite seriously!”. Place des 24 Arpents, may sound quaint, but it’s a hub of local democracy. Since 2021, this little corner of Neuilly-sur-Marne has buzzed with resident participation in their very own ‘Conseil de Quartier’. This council, encompassing the 24 Arpents and 11 Novembre areas, boasts an eight-member steering committee, randomly selected from the council. They even have a dedicated email address for direct communication! The heart of the action is their packed calendar, filled with meetings on everything from neighborhood improvements to the highly anticipated ‘Budget Participatif’. This isn’t just talk; residents actively brainstorm and vote on projects funded directly by the council. It’s grassroots democracy in action, proving Place des 24 Arpents may be small, but its residents have a big voice!
