Programme
Strategic programs for a 54ha urban renewal in Molenbeek around the canal and the "gare de l'Ouest". Includes urban and social issues such as passive social housing, sustainable mobility & infrastructure, social and political communication, financing of socio-economic activities
About
The study of this 54ha zone in the dense city centre includes the complete analysis of the urban situation and the development of priorities and issues to define a revitalization strategy. The other strategies under consideration tend to reinforce the multifunctionality and include a reflection on the density and types of dwellings. A study was also carried out to render the public spaces multifunctional in order to encourage their neutralization. The socio-economic operations were selected on the basis of their specificity and complementarity with regard to the existing situation. In practice, the 4-year programme proposes 117 dwellings, 5 projects for the (re)development of public spaces or roads, 4 collective facilities and 9 socio-economic operations. The participatory process involving the area’s residents and organizations included three phases: physical and non-physical surveys of the zone, publication of a call for ideas, and possibility of participating in the choice of the operations via a market for operations.
