Complex planning processes: productive, healthy and sustainable neighbourhood development.
Abstract
This assignment guides the city of Sint-Niklaas in exploring the development potential and associated litigation of the SVK site. The assignment starts by mapping the agendas of the various actors regarding the programming of the site. With the expansion of Stad Sint-Niklaas with the SVK Stadslob, the mobility network for accessing the site will also be reviewed. In this process, we will also make an inventory of international exemplary practices of spatial and cultural appropriation. Finally, we take the step towards implementation and advise on the available planning instruments, as well as the urban development process.Researcher(s)

Analysis of existing and future socio-spatial qualities of Flemish community centers in Brussels
Abstract
This study assignment fits in with the policy objectives of the FCC for the built patrimony, and in particular the 22 community centres, to actively pursue multifunctional use. The translation of this policy into practice requires: - A well-founded and multi-layered analysis of the community centres in spatial, social and financial terms; - The development of a process and participation structure with the various parties involved; - A supported vision of the future for both the built-up infrastructure and the operation of the community centres. community centres. Therefore, the aim of this study is to arrive at: - Recommendations, which will be taken into account when drawing up an investment plan 2021-2025; - A new methodology that allows for a participatory process with the various parties involved to achieve follow-up actions, with regard to the infrastructure, the management and the operation.Researcher(s)

Research on Operationalisation and application of an integrated approach to supralocal spatial programs
Abstract
Supralocal cooperation is becoming increasingly crucial for good spatial planning. Especially with the development of the network society, many spatial developments take place across different administrative boundaries and apparently even footloose (Castells 1996-1998, Teisman 2000, Boelens 2001, 2005, Modder 2012). The local and sometimes even regional and national level of government are therefore not always sufficient to address certain spatial issues. Because a large number of spatial challenges have a supralocal dimension, the Department of the Environment wants to promote supra-local cooperation in a region, based on a good and sustainable vision and an effective spatial development program. The approach proposed by the research team around AMRP at Ghent University and Marleen Goethals UAntwerpen starts from an actor-relational approach. This approach is based on extensive international comparisons with regional formation and practical tests (Boelens 2009) and is a way in which regionalization can be achieved with due regard for the dynamics, contextual and situational conditions and the broad perspective in which, in addition to governments, the business community and citizens / civil movements are involved.Researcher(s)
