Ever since, we have worked hard on city renewal, starting with the inner city. As a result, Ghent has transformed into <strong>a vibrant, pocket-size metropolis</strong>. Our city offers the rare combination of small-town intimacy and big-city openness.</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>Today we are well on our way to become futureproofed: which does not only mean climate neutral, but also <strong>fit for life</strong>. In other words: we want to be <strong>a city, created by and with the power of citizens</strong>. Without leaving anyone behind. Our mission is to make Ghent the best city to live in.</span></span></span></p> </div> </li> <li> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--image paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="image-gallery--wrapper single"> <div class="image-gallery js-lightbox"> <a href="https://stad.gent/sites/default/files/styles/gallery_full/public/media/images/20210125_AV_different_citizens.jpg.webp?itok=hMHiJvRB" class="gallery-link" aria-describedby="image-gallery__open-gallery" > <figure> <picture> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_l/public/media/images/20210125_AV_different_citizens.jpg.webp?itok=bGFMj_6x 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_l_x2/public/media/images/20210125_AV_different_citizens.jpg.webp?itok=tRZKH8QJ 2x" media="(min-width: 1680px)" type="image/webp" width="655" height="437"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_l/public/media/images/20210125_AV_different_citizens.jpg.webp?itok=bGFMj_6x 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_l_x2/public/media/images/20210125_AV_different_citizens.jpg.webp?itok=tRZKH8QJ 2x" media="all and (min-width: 960px) and (max-width: 1679.9px)" type="image/webp" width="655" height="437"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_xxl/public/media/images/20210125_AV_different_citizens.jpg.webp?itok=mRskBAy_ 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_xxl_x2/public/media/images/20210125_AV_different_citizens.jpg.webp?itok=qP9DPOOQ 2x" media="all and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 959.9px)" type="image/webp" width="920" height="613"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_xl/public/media/images/20210125_AV_different_citizens.jpg.webp?itok=lq-_bd8P 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_xl_x2/public/media/images/20210125_AV_different_citizens.jpg.webp?itok=pvxStSpk 2x" media="all and (min-width: 576px) and (max-width: 767.9px)" type="image/webp" width="727" height="485"/> <source srcset="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_m/public/media/images/20210125_AV_different_citizens.jpg.webp?itok=jofeHQm0 1x, /sites/default/files/styles/wide_m_x2/public/media/images/20210125_AV_different_citizens.jpg.webp?itok=2H4mxKaV 2x" media="all and (max-width: 575.9px)" type="image/webp" width="575" height="383"/> <img loading="lazy" width="960" height="640" src="/sites/default/files/styles/wide_xxl_x2/public/media/images/20210125_AV_different_citizens.jpg.webp?itok=qP9DPOOQ" alt="Climate actions - different 1" /> </picture> </figure> </a> </div> </div> </div> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--container paragraph--view-mode--full w10-o1"> <ul class="grid-2"> <li> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--default"> <h2>Bottom-up and co-creation</h2> <p><span><span><span>In Ghent, we believe in taking initiative and REALLY working together.
