Eindhoven

of the future is in your hands.

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

answer the three questions…

Opruimen van fietsen die te lang rondzwerven, hierdoor meer plekken beschikbaar !

Knarrenhofjes. Graag in Woensel om zo langer zelfstandig te blijven wonen is mijn grootste wens. Op deze manier komen er grote eengezinswoningen vrij.

Meer ruimte voor lopen en fietsen

Een charmante jazzbar. Met (live) jazzmuziek. We hebben veel kroegen maar weinig echt charmante, intieme barretjes. Eentje met goede jazz, lekkere wijnen en cocktails.

Skate voorziening, goed park dat groot genoeg is met voldoende capaciteit.

Wanneer mensen hier te gast zijn met het openbaar vervoer, is hun eerste indruk van onze mooie stad het oude vervallen VVV kantoor op een bedje van de meest goedkope tegels beschikbaar op aarde. Dit hele kleine stukje Eindhoven mooi maken heeft, mijns inziens, een onredelijk hoge impact op het beeld dat mensen van buitenaf zullen hebben van Eindhoven. De rest van het station heeft een vergelijkbaar probleem wat betreft lelijke verouderde bestrating en inrichting van de openbare ruimte, maar het stukje net buiten het station aan de zuidkant zou wat mij betreft de eerste prioriteit hebben. Aub Eindhoven fix dit kleine stukje, het visitekaartje voor veel bezoekers!

Green, green, green and clean air! Cutting down trees as much as possible. More diverse greenery and soil improvement where possible.
Furthermore, large-scale rat control and remove nests of the invasive Asian hornet.

Where are the engaging activities for seniors? And I am not talking about bingo and chess at the community centre, but I am thinking of activities that are useful. For instance, courses or workshops on a broad concept of religion, politics, technology, nature, gardening, doing odd jobs yourself, arranging wills, safety in and around the home, resilience when using social media, healthy eating, budgeting, etcetera.
I also think relaxed entertainment venues for seniors would be a good idea. No banging DJs, but a nice brown cafe with a newspaper, a snack, conviviality, and regular good live music.

Almost everything is being demolished in Eindhoven. Entire characteristic neighbourhoods (e.g. Gildebuurt) or characteristic buildings (e.g. Paleisje near Strijp station) are destroyed. Incomprehensible to constantly violate the recognisability of Eindhoven. Soon you won't know which city you're walking in anymore

Improve outdoor spaces such as parks and (parking) squares into interesting and playful meeting spaces for young and old.

More (green parks) with quality:
- City park de Dommel, create a park with good catering facilities on its edge, running as a green vein throughout the city. Where you can walk unhindered from south to north eindhoven, including along the centre (right along the centre)
- let water return to (inner) city, think of keizergracht/emmasingel with water as the name already historically suggests
- whole station area to be revamped (already being planned, thankfully)
- change paving and layout of the entire centre, now looks like an old mess, 18 sept square also needs new paving and more greenery. No fountain you don't see for 90 per cent of the time

Dear residents,
Until 2010/2011, people could park in the parking spaces in front of the house. Municipality removed parking spaces on Ruurlostraat 2010 in the street. In their place came very wide pavement on which you are not allowed to park.
- In the zoning plan at the time, it was promised that there would be parking bays at the back of Ruurlostraat however municipality did not comply!!!
- Social housing was added - even more parking problems - and gated parking courtyards where, as a non-resident, you CANNOT park.
- Resident tenements themselves do not park their cars there either due to children damaging them while playing, so all courtyards with empty spaces

Residents of Ruurlostraat are forced to park their cars on the pavement because municipality did not keep to the agreements. Only now we keep getting parking fines. In my opinion unjustified. Solution and fair treatment from municipality requested.

The green lung - Genneper parks- should definitely remain as a nature, sports and recreation area.

PSV in the city centre. This club connects many Eindhoven residents and the surrounding area.

not demolish monumental buildings but turn them into flats for minima and not just build unaffordable housing
and the city centre has not become any prettier either boring place

Livability of 't Ven neighbourhood in particular; addressing heavy industry on the Hurk.

Less dog waste in the green spaces/parks.

Toilets and a catering facility at the Urban Sports Park on Crescent Street / Elburg Avenue.

More affordable housing for one- and two-person households

Reducing litter

Encourage greening the densely tiled front gardens.

Dutch Design Week

Fewer vagrants/ homeless

Improve Small-scale negotiation.
Give entrepreneurs more space to enjoy their hobby and earn a living from it. Don't impose too many rules on them and interpret them in their favour as much as possible. Civil servants are there for the people and not the other way around.

Improve public transport. Turn the pure star construction into a star-triangle system so that you don't always have to travel via the city centre, but also, say, directly from Stratum to Tongelre. That saves a lot of travel time and thus frustration.

Preserve and strengthen the green fingers that extend into the city (such as Genneper Parks, Genderpark, Oirschotsedijk).

Eindhoven was a relatively green city but is rapidly turning to stone. Despite more greenery in the streets, greenery is mostly disappearing around new buildings. We need more housing, and going up in height is inevitable, but with that comes bigger green areas like parks (where the new people without gardens can relax/cool down). I see a decrease rather than an increase in parks (and a postage stamp of green in the street is nice but not enough).

Eindhoven is a boring provincial city. If we want to make it more attractive, the facilities for residents will have to improve: more culture (in a broad sense), more sports facilities, more leisure activities (parks and squares where people can relax/meet).

-more social initiatives that make it easier to make friends. like in Meerhoven, gestel, Strijp.
-in more places a Bibiothoop. e.g. Strijp, Meerhoven, Gestel.
-Fewer spots of paid parking. let the spots be free parking where it was already free.
-more places a clothing swap something similar to the one in Bloemfontijnstraat Eindhoven that for example in Meerhoven, gestel or Strijp.
-fun events.
-A bicycle at bus stops and railway stations so you can cycle to final destination, so we don't have to put the car there.

Everything within the ring road should be pedestrianised, with trams and a metro

That we are there for our young people, provide them with their own housing so that they can develop/grow in life. Making them feel that they count, are important, the Eindhoveners of the future 🔮

Address the number of homeless, beggars and addicts around the station. You don't feel safe walking by the station.
Moreover, this group of people may be targeted in the entire area within the ring road. There are more and more of them who sleep on the streets and use drink and drugs and walk the streets screaming during the day. It is intimidating and frightening Especially many from eastern Europe

No more cars in the city centre
Just bikes

And make Kruisstraat/woenselse markt car-free only for cyclists and walkers.

Eindhoven may dream bigger, think more internationally and act faster.

Eindhoven often thinks smartly and modestly. Eindhoven may dream on a global scale and show vision beyond the comfort zone of "technically feasible".

Eindhoven is top in technology (ASML, TU/e), but its international image still lags behind. It may more actively build on branding as the European tech and design capital.

Eindhoven is good at triple helix (government-education-entrepreneurs), but procedures can be syrupy. Eindhoven needs more guts, faster decision-making, less bureaucracy.

Eindhoven has design at its fingertips (Dutch Design Week!). Let the city surprise and inspire more with forward-looking architecture and experience.

Eindhoven will face more frequent heat, drought and flooding. Make climate adaptation an innovation playground (think cool streets, smart water collection, green roofs).

Much more for young people!

A botanical garden would be great. A place of peace, beautiful plants, more appreciation for nature, biodiversity for insects, a kind of green oasis.

Hygiene in the lift and stairwells at City Hall Square.

The cosiness and fine atmosphere on the little mountain!

Separate bins for deposit bottles and cans (or holders on the ordinary bins). That way, collectors will have to dig less among the rubbish.

Besides working/making hard in Eindhoven, there should also be more living. Living with more schwung. More clubs (where 20 to 40+ feel at home), gay bars, experiment centres like Sexyland in Amsterdam where all kinds of performances, art exhibitions and parties were organised. Or an (international) debate centre with a challenging and changing programme. Let it sparkle! And no, not with beer on Stratumseind. But somewhere with more depth: art, poetry, individuality, creativity and guts in an ecclectic mix.

That cars can still drive through the city/town centre! As is currently still possible via the Emmasingel / Hoogstraat, embankment, Geldropse weg, Vestdijk, station square, Fuutlaan, Mathildelaan, etc. That also keeps it lively! And manageable for when you can't and don't always want to walk everything anymore. I also cycle a lot. But I also want to enjoy the city by car. Can then also be really proud when I drive through it. Something I can't walk everything. It is also handy with things and purchases.
people we also desperately need. And the retailers' revenues drop, fewer visitors,
vacancy less attractive and atmospheric.
Keep it alive!

Abolish the zero emission zones! National politics indicated to postpone it and Eindhoven is pushing ahead anyway.
This measure mainly affects the self-employed and also many a resident who does not have a leased company car.
We do not have the option of charging on our own land. Cost compared diesel pure per km already increases by 50 %. Not to mention the purchase price of an electric car with too limited driving range and towing weight.

In France, they may even want to abolish environmental zones because a certain group will be hit disproportionately hard.

More and more accessible swimming pools with wide opening hours.

Make it easier (and cheaper) for small entrepreneurs to set up shop in the city centre. Then it won't just be the sameness of big box store chains that it is now.

Nurture the city's green spaces and add much more where possible to keep the city livable for animals and people

The green strip of Welschap! There is too much felling and wrong pruning in the parks, Philips van Lenneppark you can see through all the way to the motorway, the shelter from the trees to motorway is almost completely gone. In Philips de Jongh Park too many trees have been removed. Resulting in noise pollution and a not presentable park😢

More room for colour, spontaneity and (bio)diversity, with nice cosy everyday neighbourhoods free from paternalistic welfare supervision. Put artists, ecologists and freethinkers on the spatial quality committee who can give an impetus to this, and stop prescribing architects' rakeitus.

More room for colour, spontaneity and (bio)diversity with nice cosy colourful neighbourhoods that are protected from paternalistic welfare supervision. From now on, put artists, ecologists and freethinkers on the Spatial Quality Committee who stimulate real quality instead of prescribing architecture-harkeritus.

In fact, every residential street should become a residential yard where children can play freely and big people can have a nice chat. Just start somewhere. As an experiment, plant a tree here and there not on the pavement or in the parking space but in the middle of the street, creating natural chicanes.

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.
