Description
The website THE STEP towards a healthier life helps residents take steps towards a healthier life, so they feel fitter and healthier. This website features tips, activities, and useful tools that residents can use, without needing to first consult a general practitioner, health insurer, or other place. More than 120 organizations are committed to improving the health of residents and reducing health disparities among residents. These organizations list their offerings on the website, share experiences, learn from each other, and connect initiatives to take more successful steps together towards a healthier community.

Mission Pathways
Representatives of GGzE are committed to the following mission pathways:
Circular city center and sustainable consumption
In our cities, there are many opportunities for a circular economy. According to the principles of the R-ladder, we will ensure that raw materials, components, and products lose their value as little as possible and that we focus on reusing as much as possible.
Circular neighborhoods and sustainable consumption
There are also many opportunities for a circular economy in our neighborhoods. According to the principles of the R-ladder, we will ensure that raw materials, components, and products lose their value as little as possible and that we focus on as much reuse and sharing concepts as possible.
Everyone can participate.
Sustainable solutions must be affordable and available to everyone, regardless of one’s place of residence, background, or income.
Scaling up the new normal in the neighborhoods
Homes need to be quickly made more sustainable so that living costs less water and energy; at the same time, living in well-insulated homes is much more pleasant. To speed things up, we will need to renovate and make existing rental and owned homes more sustainable in a collective manner, relieving the residents of burdens.
Story Livable Neighborhoods
Outline the perspective for livable neighborhoods in 2030-2040-2050.
Story of Vital City Centre
Outline the perspective for a vibrant city center in 2030-2040-2050.
Sustainability of public space in the city center
The quality of stay in the public space in the city center is paramount. For this, sustainability and greenery are guiding principles. A green, sustainable, and healthy public space plays an important role in social activities, shopping, and recreation. It is important for, among other things, countering heat stress.
Sustainability of public space in the neighborhoods
We prioritize the quality of public spaces in our neighborhoods. For this, sustainability, water, and greenery are guiding principles. A green, sustainable, and healthy public space plays an important role in meeting and recreation. It is essential for, among other things, combating heat stress and water nuisance.
Towards climate-neutral mobility in the city center
A large part of the CO₂ emissions in the city comes from cars and the transport of goods. It should become easier to choose bicycles, public transport, or shared cars in our (inner) cities. A car-reduced city center contributes to a pleasant living environment and creates more physical space for other functions such as green areas and recreation.
