Villas de Ganshoren neighborhood

The Brussels ULL proposes to work on the district of the Villas de Ganshoren, within the municipality of Ganshoren in the north end of the Brussels-Capital Region. The Brussels ULL is aligned and in support of the regional planning instrument of the Sustainable Neighbourhood Contract Villas de Ganshoren (2023-2029). This planning tool proposes a series of projects to increase the living environment: (i) public open space projects, (ii) housing and facility projects, (iii) socio-economic projects. Concurrently, the Brussels ULL sees the Villas de Ganshoren as part of the larger valley system of the Molenbeek river. The Molenbeek watershed embeds administrative, societal and environmental characteristics to which it is possible to entail the GREEN-INC reflection, at service of the regional objectives. The ULL Brussels focuses on the development of the Sustainable Neighbourhood Contract Villas de Ganshoren in collaboration with Ganshoren municipality and the regional agency Urban.brussels. The case study has been collectively appointed with regional and local institutions, in order to test directly ICA impacts for a regional urban planning tool. In fact, there is the institutional interest to test, experiment and evaluate ICAs for NbS within a real case, to later apply ICAs in other Sustainable Neighbourhood Contract
