The Eindhoven of the future
Top 040
Together with many residents and organisations, all the ideas from the city are processed to create this TOP 040. The TOP 040 will form the basis for the city goals to be developed. Between 20 August and 14 September, you can share your preferences about which ideas you find the most important. These preferences will help shape the city goals that will guide the future of Eindhoven.
In the Eindhoven of the Future, we will keep:
- ... our beautiful parks and nature.
- ... welcoming everyone. Diversity creates a colourful and open city.
- … looking out for each other. Because we are hospitable and create a warm atmosphere, everyone feels at home and we take care of each other.
- ... PSV in the city centre. Because PSV is part of the city and connects people with one another.
- … the many social and sports clubs in the city. Clubs bring people together and create connections.
- … the cultural heritage. Historical buildings such as the Evoluon are an important part of our identity.
- … creative places such as Sectie-C, TAC, PoPei and other inspiring workspaces. There could be even more places like these.
- … events and holidays such as Carnival, King’s Day, Dutch Design Week and Glow. And also neighbourhood events, because they bring pleasure and connect people.
- … theatre, drama and music facilities. They bring colour to Eindhoven and are important to life in the city. Places such as Parktheater, Muziekgebouw and Natlab.
- … the library. Everyone is welcome in the library and it is a nice place to meet others.
- … the involvement of entrepreneurs and companies in developments in the city. Together, we continue to build the city.
- … the courage and the will to change. Eindhoven is a city where we try things out and make discoveries.
