Canal open space plan
Brussels Capital Region
Belgium
The Brussels Canal runs for about 14 km across the Brussels-Capital Region (BE), from north to south through the valley of the river Senne, forming the region’s longest undeveloped open space. The canal area is a former industrial, socially-deprived zone, characterised by many diverse spaces. In 2015, the Canal Plan was launched to transform it into a vibrant, sustainable and inclusive urban mixed-use centre. Since 2019, a complementary plan, the Beeldkwaliteitsplan (BKP), has helped strengthen social and ecological coherence, and the quality of open spaces in the canal area.
