Description
The implementation of the Mobility Vision requires collaboration with other disciplines and partners in the fields of redesign, public space, behavior influence, regulation and enforcement, monitoring and adjustment, and financing. This necessitates a working method and organization that ensures cohesion and progress over the years to prevent the emergence of "disconnected" projects that do not complement each other. Therefore, the implementation of the vision will utilize a Multi-Year Implementation Program for Mobility Transition (MUM), which will be managed by a fixed internal coordination team. The precise description of the responsibilities of this team will be further developed immediately after the vision is finalized.

Description
Climate jobs are jobs that arise in, among others, the technical sector as a result of the energy transition. There is a significant shortage of personnel in this sector. Additionally, the types of jobs created are very diverse: from solar panel installers to cleanup assistants to enable insulation to be installed. The Climate Jobs Project aims to connect job seekers with these jobs. It is being investigated whether a neighborhood-oriented approach is feasible and desirable.

Description
With the collective collection round, we periodically drive through the business parks to collect pallets, ICT waste, cans, batteries, and other specific waste streams from companies. We bring these to local partners who can recycle them in a high-quality manner. This way, even small quantities of these well-recyclable waste streams no longer end up in the residual waste. Raw materials are becoming scarce and increasingly expensive. With the Raw Materials Round, we focus on the smart exchange of residual and waste streams. Waste from one company becomes a valuable raw material for another. From waste to raw material.

Description
Water and greenery are essential for the design of public spaces in city centers and neighborhoods, supporting social, retail, and recreational activities. This requires freeing up space by using existing buildings more efficiently and reducing car traffic, which leads to more opportunities for greening. In addition, climate adaptation is necessary, such as greening gardens, parks, and roofs.

Description
The traditional method of waste collection, where each company has its residual streams collected individually by different collectors, leads to an abundance of heavy vehicles in business parks and/or the city center. This situation causes traffic congestion, is accompanied by emissions, and affects the infrastructure. To address this, the Foundation for Business Parks Helmond is developing the resource hub. This initiative introduces small, lightweight electric vehicles that frequently visit companies to collect their separated residual streams. Central to this renewed approach is the physical hub: a strategic point where the collected residual streams are brought together for transshipment. From this hub, the residual streams are distributed to the appropriate processing or recycling facilities, resulting in a more streamlined and circular processing of residual streams.

Description
Volunteers help residents green their gardens, making the immediate living environment more resilient to climate change and climate-adaptive. This is still just an idea and is not yet being implemented. The current setup of the project has existed for 6 years and provides status holders a place to integrate and participate by maintaining the gardens of vulnerable residents, allowing them to live independently for a longer time.

Description
Why is it not possible to enjoy a street where you meet neighbors, children play outside, and you are surrounded by greenery even on the 5th floor? With this project, we are developing an alternative to the commonly used apartment building, allowing us to achieve high densities in a qualitative manner. A structure (exo-skeleton) creates a winding path upward, adjacent to plateaus (elevated ground level), on which residences and communal facilities are built. Affordable, inclusive, with nature, temporary and permanent. An initiative by LL040, open to innovative parties to join.

Mission Pathways
Representatives of Gemeente Helmond are committed to the following mission pathways:
(De)velopment of new construction chains and application of sustainable building materials in the neighborhoods
In redevelopments and renovations in our neighborhoods, we will ensure that this is carried out in a biobased, circular, and climate-neutral manner.
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.
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.
Collaboration and knowledge sharing
Together we increase awareness and engage ambassadors, frontrunners, and exemplary projects aimed at the sustainability of business activities in our cities.
Energy and smart grids
Business parks are large consumers of energy. Sustainable energy from solar and wind is increasingly being generated. By managing demand in combination with storage and a so-called 'smart grid', this can be better aligned with supply.
Everyone can participate.
Sustainable solutions must be affordable and available to everyone, regardless of one’s place of residence, background, or income.
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.
Network congestion
The demand for and supply of (sustainable) electricity are increasing. All this electricity needs to be transported through the existing cables (the electricity grid). More capacity must be created on the grid as soon as possible, and we will need to make smarter and more optimal use of the grid. This is being addressed at provincial and regional levels, including through the regional taskforce and pMIEK.
Regional raw materials market
To prevent new raw materials from being used in construction and industry, a circular raw materials bank can provide a solution. Here, reusable materials are registered and made available.
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.
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.
Sustainable and circular business operations
A sustainable and circular economy focuses on reducing consumption, production, and the reuse of products, materials, and raw materials. Companies play an important role in this.
Sustainable mobility and logistics
There are various ways to make mobility in the business park more sustainable. Sustainable commuting to and from work offers various benefits and opportunities. It results in climate gains, it is healthier, and it is often cheaper. Working from home, using public transport or cycling to work, carpooling, or using an electric bike.
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.
