Priority

Local Commerce

Supporting those who create jobs and make our neighborhoods vibrant.

Local businesses make our neighborhoods vibrant. They create jobs, contribute to the animation of public spaces, strengthen social ties, and define Brussels' identity. Behind every business are entrepreneurs who take risks, invest, and actively participate in the vitality of our city.

Today, many Brussels traders face increasing difficulties: rising costs, administrative burdens, increased competition, long-term construction work, accessibility, and parking problems. Faced with these challenges, public authorities must be partners, not obstacles.

Areas of Focus

  • Accessibility for Businesses

    Customers must be able to easily reach businesses, regardless of their mode of transport. A balanced parking policy in commercial areas remains an essential factor for attractiveness.

  • Administrative Simplification

    Facilitate procedures, speed up processes, and offer greater predictability to entrepreneurs, who often face complex regulations and excessive delays.

  • Economic Impact of Every Decision

    Systematically evaluate the economic impact of development projects, traffic changes, and local regulations. Involve economic actors more in decisions concerning their working environment.
