Mission Pathways
Representatives of Ondernemerskontakt (OK) de Hurk are committed to the following mission pathways:
(Forward) development of new construction chains and application of sustainable building materials
The city centers of Helmond and Eindhoven have a significant urbanization challenge. All new homes that we add will be built in a biobased, circular, and climate-neutral way.
Climate jobs
For the transition to a sustainable economy, people are needed with new knowledge and skills. This applies to construction, the energy transition, and the greening of existing homes. This requires appropriate training programs, both in vocational and scientific education. There are also pathways needed to retrain people or to impart knowledge about sustainability.
Healthy green working environment
In industrial areas, the risk of waterlogging and heat is often high due to the lack of greenery and the extensive hard surfaces. Damage and nuisance from climate change in industrial areas can be mitigated by designing them to be green and shaded. This makes industrial areas more climate-resilient and improves the quality of the living and working environment.
Scaling up sustainable business parks
Sustainability of a business park requires a collective approach. This means cooperation between entrepreneurs (association), property owners, suppliers, advisors, and the government.
Story Livable Neighborhoods
Outline the perspective for livable neighborhoods in 2030-2040-2050.
Towards climate-neutral mobility in the neighborhoods
A large part of the CO₂ emissions in the city comes from cars and goods transport. We will make it easier to choose cycling, public transport, or car sharing in our city and neighborhoods. A car-reduced city center contributes to a pleasant living environment and creates more physical space for other functions such as greenery and recreation.
