Puzzle Pieces

Like any other municipality, Aalten has to take into account all kinds of "puzzle pieces" in its environmental vision. For example, Aalten attaches great value to that which makes Aalten unique and thus defines its identity (also called "DNA"). Important to include in the environmental vision. More information about the DNA of Aalten.

A second important starting point for the new environmental vision is the current quality of the living environment. This is currently being mapped out by the Royal Haskoning research bureau commissioned by the municipality of Aalten and recorded in a "photo of the living environment." As soon as it is available, it will be published on this website and included in the discussions about the environmental vision.

In addition, Aalten -just like other municipalities- has to give substance to the policy of other levels of government (national, provincial and water board) and regional agreements andprograms have been made with other municipalities (and sometimes other levels of government). These must also be included in the environmental vision.

Furthermore, there are all kinds of trends and developments that also affect Aalten and which Aalten therefore has to take into account in the environmental vision.

The municipality of Aalten has also committed to work on the United Nations'sustainable development goals(SDGs), so that too must be included in the environmental vision. More information on these sustainable development goals.

And then, of course, the residents of Aalten have their wishes and preferences when it comes to the future of the living environment. In the three rounds of talks we will map out these wishes and preferences as well as possible, so that we can also take these into account and weigh them in the new environmental vision.
