Priority

Local Commerce

Supporting those who create jobs and keep our neighborhoods vibrant.

Local businesses are the heart of our neighborhoods. They create jobs, enliven public spaces, strengthen social ties, and contribute to the identity of Brussels. Behind every business, there 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 works, accessibility, and parking problems. Faced with these challenges, public authorities must be partners, not obstacles.

Areas of Focus

  • Business Accessibility

    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 modifications, and local regulations. Involve economic actors more in decisions concerning their working environment.
