In 1958, we celebrated our 100,000th resident. This was followed by the milestones of 125,000, 150,000 and 160,000. At the end of 2021, we passed the 165,000 mark, and now our population stands at 170,000. Once again, it is a birth that makes this milestone particularly special.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div data-acfblock=\"Tekst\" class=\"section a section--grey e-tekst\">\r\n\t<div class=\"container\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"row justify-content-center elementOnTop\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col article-content__content-custom-1220 editor elementOnTop\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Space for people<\/h2>\r\n<p>170,000 residents is more than just a round figure. They are 170,000 people who, together, make up Apeldoorn. People who live here, work here, meet one another and grow up here. With \u2018Space for people\u2019 as its guiding principle, Apeldoorn aims to be a municipality where people can enjoy living, with space to get involved and look out for one another.<\/p>\n<p>Apeldoorn\u2019s growth is therefore not just about numbers, but above all about the people who bring the town to life day in, day out. From the city centre to the villages and from the Veluwe to the IJssel: more and more people are calling Apeldoorn home. And for Louise, that story has only just begun.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The municipality of Apeldoorn has reached a special milestone: it now has 170,000 residents.
