Thinking about the future of Schellenskwartier

Many people want to live in the Eindhoven city center. Perhaps that also applies to you. The Schellenskwartier (area between Vestdijk, Geldropseweg, Stratumsedijk and Bleekweg) offers opportunities for new construction. Several initiators have reported to the municipality for building plans.

 

In order to be able to properly assess and coordinate the plans, the municipality first draws up an area framework. In it we indicate what the ambitions, starting points and opportunities are for the area. Think of themes such as mobility, cultural history and integration of greenery.

 

We recently presented the draft area framework to, among others, residents and entrepreneurs from the area. They could also respond to the various themes. We would like to hear more opinions, especially if you are interested in living in the area. Fine if you want to give your opinion. View the concept area framework and fill in the response form.

Born on Two Wheels

More people cycle than drive in the Netherlands. This hasn’t happened by accident, and it isn’t due solely to the country being relatively flat. There is a bicycle culture that has been deliberately grown and maintained by producing conditions that encourage cycling. Read more
