Brussels

Lijst 1 PS-Vooruit

A safe, clean, and livable city

Our public spaces have improved in recent years, but they can and must become cleaner, safer, and more pleasant. Children should be able to play outside, women should feel safe, and more greenery should make the city future-proof. Increased police presence, underground waste containers and stricter penalties for illegal dumping will improve the livability of our neighbourhoods.

Affordable housing

Diversity is the richness of our city. But renting or buying is becoming unattainable for more and more people. That's why Vooruit wants to invest in affordable housing that suits every Brussels resident, whether they live alone, with friends, or have a large family.

Illegal tourist accommodation causes higher rents, nuisance and a reduced sense of community. We are strengthening the fight against illegal Airbnbs. We are tackling slum landlords, we are taxing owners who neglect their properties and we are claiming vacant buildings more quickly.

Strong education

Every Brussels child deserves the best education. This starts with a teacher for every class. Schooling should be free, regardless of parental income. That's why we will make materials, meals, excursions, and childcare free. And all this in beautiful, welcoming school build-ings, like the one we plan to build at the Tour & Taxis site. We will make school a place where every child feels good.
