City Council
Since March 2022, I am a municipal council member in Eindhoven. In my first term I represented GroenLinks (GreenLeft) and after a merger I now represent PRO. As a council member, I work to create a greener and more socially responsible city. I am concerned about the consequences of the climate crisis, the shortage of affordable housing, and the growing gap between rich and poor.
I seek to prioritize bold green and social proposals. For example, I have prevented the felling of hundreds of trees, drawn attention to the pressure on the housing market, and strengthened the position of low- and middle-income earners. Thanks to my efforts, we support housing cooperatives, give home seekers a stronger voice in decisionmaking, and add additional floors for new homes.
Eindhoven should be a city where we focus on nature and people, rather than on more economic growth. With more space for pedestrians, cyclists, and greenery in the streets. Where a tram will run and we will build two new train stations. You can click on the topics below to read more about the respective topic.
Below you can find an overview of my submitted amendments, motions and questions in the city council.

Start memo Densification Policy Eindhoven
Eindhoven is growing rapidly, while the available space remains the same. In order to realize sufficient housing, workplaces and facilities and to preserve the greenery in and around the city, we choose sustainable densification within the existing city limits. This start note describes the principles for densification. The council will incorporate these into the urban development policy, so that it becomes clear where and under what conditions densification is possible. The aim is to realize more housing while maintaining livable neighborhoods.
