The Commune encourages the residents to take part in social, cultural and sporting life. It supports individual and collective integration of the residents into their environment with a view to strengthening social cohesion in the various districts within the Commune. In order to achieve this, St. Josse-ten-Noode has created a drama initiative and is building a new sporting infrastructure in the area while looking to increase participation in socio-cultural and sporting life by the more insecure groups. 

The Commune of St. Josse-ten-Noode also intends to act more preventively against the feeling of insecurity by implementing projects with a view to promoting safe and pleasant living conditions. It is promoting an increase in the number of visitors to the parks in St. Josse as well as improving the Commune’s image and security around schools and parks. This involves more precisely the implementation of park wardens and stewards.

The City Contract is mainly organized by communal participants who have been involved to varying degrees in implementing the projects. The Commune of St. Josse-ten-Noode in carrying out its coordination function also carries out a relay role between all its partners.

The St. Josse-ten-Noode City Contract involves the entire Commune. Thanks to this finance, the City is developing projects responding to the needs of the residents amid concerns about opening and integrating the Commune to the remaining regions of the Brussels Capital Region.

The Commune is also determined to include in its projects the following lateral points found in the Urban Policy Programme: Socio-professional integration, inter-culturalism and diversity, participation and equality.
