Local residents and commuters can have their say about the reconstruction of Brussels inner ring between between Place Sainctelette and Yser - at present a busy, dangerous and anarchic combination of cars, trucks, trams, buses, bicycles and pedestrians.
In 2017, the Brussels government organised a competition for a new Place Sainctelette and surroundings. The French landscape architects of Agence Ter, who worked together with the Brussels office Karbon and the engineering office Arcadis, secured the contract.
Their design focuses on more usable space for pedestrians. For instance Kanal-Centre Pompidou and the Kaaitheater will have a large forecourt as the wide and unused central median will disappear, moving vehicular traffic towards the centre of the thoroughfare.
