The State of the City 2022
Nine new aldermen have been installed and the Amsterdam Agreement has been presented. THE 2022 - 2026 coalition agreement makes clear choices to meet the major challenges of our time and to strengthen cohesion in the city. The central themes are: a city based on solidarity with equal opportunities, a sustainable future and responsible growth.
-|-
How will the new aldermen implement this agreement in the coming years? And with whom? How are they going to solve the shortage of energy and the local climate problem together with parties from the city, and what will be the concrete answer to the shortage of affordable housing? What does 'investing unequally for equal opportunities' mean for reducing inequality in education or for solving the large personnel shortages?
