Eindhoven

of the future is in your hands.

Where is the city heading? Join us, share your ideas and

answer the three questions…

Let the "village character" of old remain Stratum, Tongelre, Gestel, Woensel, and Eindhoven itself.
The modern digital city needs to maintain a good mix. with the personal, direct...not just via the internet etc. The human touch, neighbourly help, neighbourhood spirit....SAMEN we will come a long way(courts).
The city more car-free, more emphasis on public transport, cycle-walk paths. Old and young should be able to find their way around.
Also own responsibility. Rolling up your own sleeves. Not just the government/municipality solving everything for us.
Green, green, green. Together together together together. Reward rewards where things are going well. Our beautiful city where so much goes right.
Everyone should be able to participate in areas like sports, culture. More free to sports, music, reading...Invest in these from the "big money".

- More social initiatives that make it easier to make friends, especially for expats and international students.
- More places like Bibliotope, where people can easily come together and get to know each other.
- Improve accessibility for the disabled, e.g. through more public toilets, wider pavements and better infrastructure.
- More opportunities for residents in the centre to organise things together, despite many renting temporarily and having less connection to the neighbourhood.
- Better public transport at night so that people can get home safely after a night out.

- More public toilets, especially for women and people with disabilities.
- Better bicycle parking spaces, e.g. covered bicycle sheds that stay open longer.
- More social connection between foreigners and Dutch, so that the expat community does not remain so separated from the rest of the city.
- More public meeting places where people can spontaneously engage in conversation.
- More affordable housing so that people do not have to keep moving and neighbourhoods remain more stable.

All the fun events like GLOW, marathon, weekend markets, hotspots like Bibliotope and the old Kaadhuis.
The lively atmosphere in the city, where there is always something to do.

Public transport needs to be completely redesigned and developed. Bus transport is sad, car is crowded and unsustainable and bicycle is fine in nice weather but inconvenient when it rains or the distance is further. So metro or tram after all, or can we develop a more innovative system?

Village character of the neighbourhoods and preservation of industrial heritage: that creates a very nice atmosphere. And preserve people's involvement, also in associations. Also encourage newcomers (expats) to actively participate.

Improve neighbourhoods that need it, offer support for people who are not (yet) self-reliant and embrace refugees and newcomers (let them work as soon as possible). Invest actively in green areas and make sure everyone can participate in the energy transition. And diversify the range of shops (large retail chains add little). Encourage entrepreneurship other than just deep-tech and high-tech.

Create an iconic building in the heart of Eindhoven.
Think Marina bay Sands in Singapore, Petronas in Kuala Lumpur or Shanghai's spaceneedle. Make a large shopping mall under the building which can be linked to underground bus stop and train station. Have the building illuminated in the evening. Turn the building into a large office space where all major organisations can work. I took AI photos which I am happy to forward.

Further: Make sure you have a big green park in the city with playground for children. Especially if you are building flats for 15,000 people in the city. For inspiration, think Valencia (Turia garden) or NYC Central park. Make an Eindhoven a global city just like Amsterdam. Eindhoven has that potential.

More cultural public festivals. Let fiesta del sol come back. Many festivals have been scrapped in the past for financial reasons.

A piece of nature at Strijp-S. Like the lawn next to Ketelhuisplein. A central place to gather with fellow city dwellers and enjoy the sun in the greenery that is becoming less and less due to all the (high-rise) building plans.

The new buildings could be more spectacular, not 13 in a dozen buildings you see in every city. Public transport should be much better, now it takes an hour and 45 minutes to get from Gestel to Strijp. And then find it crazy that people don't leave their cars. The first bus stop for me is a 10-minute walk, by which time I am already at my destination by car.

More real high-rise buildings from 150 metres upwards to leave more space for more greenery. Show in public spaces that Eindhoven is an innovative city.

More space for cyclists, walkers and nature and less space for cars within the ring road.

A cosy city centre, with more greenery and unique shops instead of just big chain shops. Almost all shops in the city have an online shop, why go to the city anymore?

The nice combination of the village character of the residential areas (e.g. Vonderkwartier) and the amenities and activity level of the big city.

Improve:
Street litter and dog faeces!!!!
Educate citizens in responsibility for the city and living environment!
Traffic unsafe situations, especially for cyclists.
Pedestrians and cyclists should be the main traffic participants in city centres and residential areas.
Create housing (possibly temporarily) in existing (vacant) properties.

Stay:
Green city.
Parks, trees, flowering roadsides, encourage greening.
Improve:
Educating citizens to take responsibility for city and living environment (dog faeces, street dirt)
Unsafe traffic situations especially for cyclists.
Renew:
Walk and cycle bridge over the canal from
Gabriel Metsulaan to Teniers Avenue!!!!!!!

To improve public transport even further indeed go underground with a metro unfortunately though costly but you don't need to create any more extra space for hsl and bus lanes where you can use the inner ring road and leg of metz as main rings and various arterial roads as "wheel spokes" and in this way also involve the various villages/cities around eindhoven you can make the city bigger.

- More visibility of design and high-tech in the city, e.g. in public spaces, retail, architecture.
- Broaden the local economy without compromising the strong positions of design and tech. For example, more office functions.
- Better retail with more smaller entrepreneurs with a unique concept
- Make more neighbourhoods, areas interesting to visit. Eg De Bergen, Strijp-S+R, Woensel-West, NRE are worth a visit, but there are plenty of opportunities (eg canal area and Woensel shopping centre already under construction)
- More densification in the city centre, but also in the neighbourhoods. This brings more liveliness and offers opportunities for unique concepts and urban infill
- More liveliness in the neighbourhoods, with nice catering spots, local shops, amenities and pocket parks that create hustle and bustle that also attract Eindhoven residents from outside the neighbourhood.
- More greenery 'in between'. Fight petrification and greenery not only on the ground. Almost every street has plenty of opportunities

A city that invites, indeed stimulates, active exercise, meeting, staying in public spaces. Strengthening the power of the city's green lungs and connecting these green oases with walking and cycling paths, as little crossed by car traffic as possible. In the future, we need an approach that ensures we stay vital, stay healthy, eat well, continue to meet each other and can also de-moisten (be in the here and now for a while) on a daily basis. Eindhoven as a blue zone, as a place where people are in good health for a long time.

Public transport system that covers the region well and efficiently. Now you are (almost) faster by train in Amsterdam than by bus in e.g. Reusel, Someren or Asten. To improve mobility, we should pay more attention to a good public transport system in the region while at the same time adopting an approach that reduces car traffic within the urban environment and can redirect parking spaces - both on-street and urban parking spaces - towards space for greenery, playing, meeting.

The connection, the city's collaborative spirit and the way we are there for everyone, from highly educated to practically skilled, of Brabant or non-Brabant origin. Inclusiveness in many ways.

Eindhoven lacks urbanity. Inner-city densification contributes to efficient and multiple use of space. This increases support for public transport networks, social and cultural facilities.

Friendly feeling of together, We are Eindhoven and we love Eindhoven. is only possible if new people get to know the Dutch language and the Eindhoven culture. (and to a lesser extent vice versa.) push for this and give a new Eindhoven resident a pin that he/she can wear with pride and that native Eindhoven residents know that you can speak Dutch to each other.
perhaps another pin for the vice versa variant, but then you need to have basic knowledge of history and culture of at least three international Eindhoven groups (e.g. Polish, Chinese and Indian)

Iam proud to be a citizen of Eindhoven, proud off the diversity off people living in this great city.
But will we be sure that all citizens participate in the future off this city, and be, or become, a proud member of our community. How can we be sure that we dont forget minorities in our city, that dont have this proud feeling. The feeling they dont belong to our "Eindhoven community".
Thats my question: How to be sure that every citizen can become a proud. Citizen off the city off Eindhoven.

I would like a 'liveable' city with lots of greenery and cars away from the city centre. Furthermore, I would also like a beautiful / cool city where there is something to see in terms of architecture. I would also like more places where 'small catering establishments' are allowed without too much bureaucracy. Like room for mobile coffee bars etc. What I also really want is sincere commitment and co-development of Eindhoven by its residents who make Eindhoven their HOME. And PS please stop drawing comparisons with other cities immediately!
PS> The 'diminutive name' EINDJE can go away as far as I am concerned.

Livability. Eindhoven is sadly a car town and needs to get back to being a place where staying and living is at one without the noise, danger and use of space of the car.

A promenade from Strijp-S to the city centre, more shops/cute coffee shops in Strijp-S, more meeting places for young & old. Brighten up older (drab) buildings with work by, for example, Judith de Leeuw or other graffiti artists. More water throughout the city is welcome, especially the construction of a beach somewhere (like in Nijmegen near the Waal river).

Eindhoven could be a lot more climate-friendly. More tile peeling, green facades and roofs, less (or no) aviation, fewer cars, more cycling and walking, better public transport, less polluting industry

Easy access/accessibility for car and parking outside the ring road. The car is increasingly banished a bad development. Public transport is not a good alternative to the car in many cases. purchases/shopping not next door you do by car in most cases.

More green space is already being worked on, with more strips added in the city centre. But given the climate changes and the many residential towers being built, even more greenery, in the form of even more trees and flowerbeds, a park here and there, with benches for contact, green walls along house facades and on bus shelters (see the one at 18 Septemberplein, Piazza stop, though it could be improved), will enhance the character of the brick high-rise city.

I would like to see Eindhoven retain a lot of green space. Keep the existing parks and green areas and take into account the 3 - 30 - 300 rule for green space.

Dutch Design Week

- The strength and power of society
- Salary of people in Brainport 15% higher than in the rest of NL (no more poverty)
- Connecting cultures, better position of migrants (no more exclusion)

Business here is not about value for shareholders but contributions to society.

Social security and narrowing the gap between high and low incomes.
Cycling infrastructure: wider cycle paths, more parking space for bikes.
Better public transport: easier transport between city districts without having to travel to Central Station all the time.
Connect green parts of the city to create wide green corridors between different parts of the city where it is great to cycle, walk, play and exercise.
Creative hubs in the city that are not too slick like Het Stroomhuisje, Strijp-s (in the beginning) and Sectie-C.

Basic income for all.
Neighbourhood centre in every neighbourhood.
Meeting space for residents in each apartment building.
Car sharing system in every neighbourhood.
Public transport is so good that no one wants to enter the centre by car anymore. Centre is car-free as a result.
Greening the centre.
Pavilion at Urban Sportpark (Strijp) so that people can meet there even more easily even when the weather is not so good.
Free public transport for all.
Attention to healthy lifestyle and healthy living environment: clean air, healthy and tasty food in restaurants, healthy products in shops. Reward system for people who live healthy lives.

The "village feel" in the different city districts. Each city district has its own character and atmosphere. Also gives strong social cohesion, in my opinion.
Social governance of the city.
Diversity of businesses and business parks and estates.
Sports opportunities
Cultural spots: Natlab, PandP, Parktheater etc. and also the various somewhat "rawer" places like Section-C.
Green lungs of the city: Genneper Parks, Eindhoven North-West, TU site, Dommel valley

Continue to propagate Eindhoven's history and DNA with pride.

The cosy atmosphere in the city!

Preserve the green: connect the green. Green Eindhoven, from the Dommel to Gender.

The Brabant conviviality in the City districts can keep the city friendly.

Officials and policy officers need to go out much more to talk to residents.

The connection between population groups needs to be strengthened; from expats to "Woenselnaren".

Walk-in social clubs, such as Catherine Church, need to be strengthened. Especially more toilets at the venues.

Maintain a focus on the city's past, which has made the city what it is today: Philips, new residents, caring for each other, et cetera.

Nature reserves in the city need to improve. Birds must be given the opportunity to return again.

Eindhoven is not a scrap-and-sleep city. Don't become dependent on ASML!

We don't want a boring city: more variety in work and shopping.
