The area around the Trassersweg and the Petit Chemin Vert in Neder-over-Heembeek has all the ingredients of the Brussels periphery: high-quality but fragmented open space, scattered construction, vast islands with monofunctional use, urbanisation accelerated by the construction of a new tram line. This leads to tensions between the various demands for space.
In order to mediate in this, the City of Brussels wants to draw up a masterplan that, on the basis of research by design and environmental analysis, provides the guiding framework for future developments in this area, which is approximately 100 ha in size. The masterplan must examine how this area will develop, based on the existing qualities and potential of the zone and taking into account the various roles that the area takes on: as a green lung, as a zone for food production, as a sports and recreational centre, as a pleasant residential environment, etc. The challenge therefore lies in finding a balance and interweaving of these various functions. The open space and ecological values form the basis for the design.
The assignment includes the following phases:
- Diagnosis and vision definition
- Scenario study
- Construction of preferred scenario
- Translation into Masterplan
- Final report study and Masterplan
To this end, the City is looking for an experienced multidisciplinary team (urban planning, landscape, research by design, environmental impact) to be responsible for this complex masterplan assignment.
- Urban planning
- Research by design on the scale of a complex peri-urban area
