Just another metroline?! Brussels: 19 Ambitions for a layered city

NO PARKING SPACE BUT PUBLIC SPACE.
Saar Huyghebaert
Today Brussels is overwhelmed by car
parks that occupy a prominent place
in the public space of the city. My
ambition is to make Brussels more
liveable by creating extra public space.
Therefore it is necessary to change the
mobility policy drastically and to reduce
car parks. Today the car is 95% of the
METRO LINE 3
time stationary. When used, the average
distance is 6 km in Brussels. We overuse
the car which leads to so many problems
such as traffic jams, etc. We know that,
in the coming decades, the population
of Brussels will only grow stronger.

To ensure that everyone can move in a
safe enjoyable way, without losing more
public space, we have to think about a
new mobility plan. Car sharing is a good
system that still provides private use
but which is at the same time collective.

one shared car. Thereby, private cars can
be slowly banned over the years so that
the public space will grow again. The
metro network itself can also improve
and should be used as an alternative
for trucks. This would also contribute
for a large part in solving the mobility
problem. At the end, this will lead to
more new open and healthier space for
the citizens.
