Addressing a panel on inequality, urban communities, and environmental action at the Fortifying Freedom: Defence and Democracy Dialogue conference, Sofia Mayor Vassil Terziev said that honest and open communication with citizens is crucial for the effective implementation of long-term environmental and urban policies.

Terziev said that Sofia Municipality is developing an open urban data platform accessible to both citizens and businesses. “When people understand how and why decisions are made, they can participate more actively in the process,” he noted.

The mayor emphasized that the long-term success of urban policies depends not only on the decisions of the administration but also on the active engagement of the public.
