But he didn\u2019t feel supported by the province and the government, after which he quit\u00a0his position. Forces are currently different.<\/p>\n<p>Jorritsma engages \u201cthe situation around Nuenen\u201d as a lever for the operation. That municipality should go together with Son en Breugel or Eindhoven, according to the province. \u201cIt is a good moment to reconsider the whole governance in our region. I notice am not alone in this, when I speak with the mayors, aldermen and councillors in the region.\u201d The consultations in the 21 municipalities are progressing constructively according to Jorritsma, but also a little too slowly, he thinks. \u201cWe see each other in every day governing, overall governance, steering committees, work spaces, board tables, working groups and so on. The cooperation is huge, but the question is whether this will be efficient and effective for the future and challenges of this urban region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"localfocusvisual\" style=\"width: 600px; height: 550px; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/localfocus2.appspot.com\/58734f5343a5e\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Jorritsma sees \u201cthree to four municipalities, with each a strong own profile\u201d: one urban municipality, consisting of the current Urban Area minus Helmond. Then Helmond as centre city of De Peel. And one or two rural municipalities, with the A2 municipalities Heeze, Cranendonck and Valkenswaard and the current Kempen municipalities.<\/p>\n<p>According to Jorritsma there are several benefits that come with a big reorganization. \u201cApart from democratic legitimacy and administrative efficiency there is also a strategic interest. At the Hague tables where the funds are distributed there isn\u2019t one seat ready for the Mainport region and the fifth city of the Netherlands. We need more critical mass to effectively link the economical claims from the National Action agenda Brainport with a national entrenched position. <em>Size Does Matter<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jorritsma bepleit herindeling rond Eindhoven\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/N-LeJ3s7QIM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Studio040 reported the responses in Veldhoven and Son:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Veldhoven en Son: geen grote fusiegemeente met Eindhoven\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lc5MMiAl-FY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To four municipalities in stead of 21; Eindhoven is the fourth municipality of the Netherlands with more than 400.000 inhabitants.
