Rob: "I am looking forward to connecting with Heerlen in the coming period. A city that in recent years has gone through beautiful developments in urban development and renewal. Also a city that is not yet finished and has plenty of social, spatial and economic challenges. A city with a raw edge, working hard to become a little better and more beautiful every day. To contribute to that with the many involved and inspired employees and the board is a great prospect for the coming months."
