In the context of the “Peterbos” Sustainable Neighborhood Contract, the municipality of Anderlecht will invest heavily in new neighborhood facilities and the public space of the largest social housing district of the Brussels-Capital Region in the coming years.

This assignment aims at the realization of a master plan for the redesign of the public space, the design of a new path structure, the realization of a new central open space, the integration of the parking facilities in the landscape and the construction of various leisure spaces.

The aim is to give the concept of ‘inhabited park’ a contemporary interpretation and to stimulate the readability and appropriation of public space. The activation of the ground floors, among other things, can be an important lever. The creation of a high-quality environment (with special attention to pedestrians and bikers, biodiversity and water, waste treatment) will ensure that the park is also used by people who do not live there. That way the Peterbospark will better engage itself in the surrounding neighborhoods.
