Municipality of Tiel selects ambitions for Environment Vision
The municipal executive of Tiel has selected ambitions for the Environment Vision. This vision outlines how the municipality intends to develop over the coming decades. It provides a picture of where people will live and work in 2050, as well as where there will be space for roads, schools, and care centres.
These core ambitions, outlined in the so-called 'Course Document', serve as the starting point for the Environment Vision. The ambitions stem from the municipality’s Future Vision, which was adopted in December.
Balanced growth
The first ambition focuses on 'balanced growth', where housing construction, amenities, liveability, and a healthy living environment go hand in hand. “Growth is not an end in itself, but a way to make Tiel stronger,” says councillor Jur Marringa. “The liveability of our living environment can be improved in many places. A more diverse housing supply, spread across the municipality, is a tool for this. But that’s not all—amenities such as shops, schools, and care centres must grow along with it, so that the municipality remains well-balanced.”
Future-proof economy
The second ambition, 'a future-proof and accessible regional economy', concerns strengthening the economy, mobility, and energy supply. “The municipality is focusing on a strong, sustainable regional economy with good accessibility,” the councillor adds.
Hospitable countryside
The third ambition describes a 'hospitable countryside' that remains inviting, recognisable, and future-proof. “We are also paying attention to the balance between agriculture, nature, and recreation,” continues councillor Marringa. “These topics all hold important values for our environment—and especially for our villages and rural areas.”
Next steps and participation
By this summer, the municipality will further develop the ambitions. The ambitions will be made concrete for different parts of the municipality, such as residential neighbourhoods and villages, the city centre, the countryside, and business parks. To shape this further, the municipality will engage in discussions with residents, entrepreneurs, and organisations.
