Breda must sparkle!

That is what D66 Breda stands for. A city where renewal goes hand in hand with  character, where courage and creativity drive progress, and where we work together to build a future  that is sustainable, fair, and full of energy. D66 Breda envisions a city unafraid to think big and act big.  A city that dares, connects, and innovates. It can be done, also in Breda. 

In the coming years, Breda will grow. To let Breda flourish, the city must be redesigned to a new scale.  Thousands of homes will be added, new places will emerge, and old locations will be given new life.  That requires choices shaped by vision and courage. We choose growth with character: architecture  that creates the monuments of the 22nd century, sustainable construction with bio-based materials,  and the preservation of heritage wrapped in a modern identity. 

Our villages are part of this spark as well. From Prinsenbeek to Ulvenhout, from Teteringen to  Bavel, everywhere, we work together with residents on plans that reflect the identity of each village.  The strength of Breda lies not only in the city, but in the connection between city and villages. 

Our municipality thrives when culture, innovation, and sustainability go hand in hand. That is why  we invest in creators, cultural incubators, and nightlife. We make space for creativity, from Pier15 to  St. Joost, and ensure culture is accessible to everyone. Because a city that sparkles, lives. 

We create room for talent and invest in a strong, innovative economy where education and  entrepreneurship meet. We aim to make Breda the defence hub of Brabant. With our centuries-long  connection to defence and our profile as an innovative city of applied technology and creativity, we are  perfectly positioned to put Breda firmly on the map. 

We want a healthy, green municipality where everyone can move freely. Breda becomes a cycling city:  safe, sustainable, and attractive. We green neighbourhoods and villages, invest in clean water, energy,  and air, and ensure housing remains affordable. Ten thousand new homes for every budget, from  starters to seniors, in vibrant neighbourhoods where services grow alongside. 

Everyone should feel at home in our municipality. A place where you can be yourself and develop  yourself. A municipality with a strong social safety net that supports people when needed, and where  everyone is accepted for who they are. 

Together, we prepare Breda for the future: a lively, sustainable, creative, and fair city. A city where  everyone belongs. A city that dares, connects, and renews. 
Because Breda must sparkle, it can be done!
