Of all the 21 national museums, there is not one in the South. And out of the Gemeentefonds subsidies for culture, sports and urban\u00a0facilities we only receive\u00a0\u20ac1,53 per capita. For Rotterdam and Utrecht is no less than\u00a0\u20ac140, Amsterdam even gets \u20ac 195. One hundred ninety-five euros! That&#8217;s 127 times as much as we get!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>One in five Eindhovenaren was born abroad, Van Gijzel said today. That means that, according to the mayor, the city has a duty to offer pleasant living conditions to that group of people. An English theater is part of it. Van\u00a0Gijzel: &#8220;And by that I don&#8217;t mean an English-language program in an existing theater, no, a\u00a0really English theater.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Research by the Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving (PBL) shows that Eindhoven ranks high on five of the six critical factors in the development of an &#8220;innovation environment&#8221;: local buzz, global pipelines, entrepreneurial dynamism, branding and governance of innovation. The only factor\u00a0where this is not the case, is &#8216;urbanity&#8217;: &#8220;An ideal urban environment for innovation has plenty of cultural facilities, is open seven days a week and 24 hours a day, and offers a pleasant living environment,&#8221; said PBL-researcher Otto Raspe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/logo-expat-top10.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-54152\" src=\"https:\/\/ioplus.nl\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/logo-expat-top10.png\" alt=\"logo expat top10\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><em>The next two weeks E52 publishes portraits of the winners of the Top10 Expat-election.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mayor Rob van Gijzel is negotiating with the government on the establishment of an English language theater in Eindhoven.
