City Assemblies bring together representatives from each Neighborhood Assembly. These representatives are not elected officials but rotating delegates chosen by their peers to convey the decisions of their neighborhood. They must return to their assembly for guidance on larger decisions, ensuring they remain accountable.
Frequency: City Assemblies meet monthly, with special sessions as needed.
Participation: Each neighborhood sends rotating delegates, but all citizens can attend and observe. The City Assemblies also broadcast meetings for greater transparency.
Agenda: Set based on proposals and issues brought up from the Neighborhood Assemblies. City-wide issues like transportation systems, healthcare, education, housing, and larger resource management are discussed.
Decision-Making: Proposals are deliberated on and refined using consensus, though if consensus cannot be reached, a supermajority vote (75%) is used.
Feedback Loop: Delegates bring decisions back to their neighborhoods for final ratification or adjustments.
