This document discusses a crowdsourcing initiative called #BrusselsTogether aimed at enabling people to contribute to improving Brussels. It notes that Brussels is a diverse city with 163 nationalities but people often work in silos on initiatives that reinvent the wheel. The document proposes a website called BrusselsTogether.org that would make it easier for people to create, join, or support initiatives by reducing friction. It encourages people to share information about the initiative, become supporting members, and get associations they want to support listed on the site. The overall goal is to create an online infrastructure where people can connect and collaborate on content and opportunities to improve Brussels.

23. Today,
starting an initiative in your city
is like creating a website back in 1990.

a city is an infrastructure
on top of which people
create and share content
that gives them
opportunities to connect.
