Investments in public space

Last year, the municipality completed 14 projects in public spaces. With this work, more than 11 million euros were invested throughout the city, mostly in our neighborhoods and districts. Currently, work is already underway on many other locations. 

The municipality works on the quality of public spaces throughout the year. Are the paving, sewers, greenery or other facilities in need of replacement? If so, matters are tackled and work is immediately done with work. For example, when sewers need to be replaced, consideration is given to greening and, if necessary, measures are taken to improve traffic safety. By combining work as much as possible, we get more done with the same resources.

Strong and livable neighborhoods

Alderman Marco Peters of Management and Maintenance: "Investing in strong and livable neighborhoods and districts is a top priority. Especially the immediate living environment of our residents, their street and neighborhood, which is close to their hearts. We work very hard throughout the year to make a difference here."

The summary lists the projects worked on and completely completed by 2024.
