PLACE DE LA VAILLANCE

Public space

The Place de la Vaillance and the area around the Collegiate Church of St Peter and St Guido in Anderlecht boast a hugely important heritage value. Their history dates back to the Middle Ages, but these public spaces are now undervalued and in dire need of major redevelopment. Such, in any case, is the wish of the municipality of Anderlecht, which is now launching a renovation project for these public spaces. The redevelopment of an area covering 20,000m², which will change the face of the municipality.

NB: APCOA plans to build an underground car park under the part of the Place de la Vaillance that borders on Rue Wayez. The purpose of this new car park is to reduce the need for parking in the square to an absolute minimum, freeing up space for casual users, leisure areas, terraces and greenery, even on top of the car park. In addition, getting rid of through traffic and making the surrounding streets part of the study area opens up the prospect of a more liveable centre.
Finally, the garden bordering the church is also included in the specifications, which will allow a better connection between the cemented public space and the greener setting of the Collegiate Church.

For this project, the municipality is looking for a multidisciplinary team. The goal of the project is to achieve exemplary work in terms of participation, mobility and landscaping.
