Site 1<br />
D’Ieteren Block<br />
Surface: 9,9 ha<br />
Completely saturated by industrial<br />
buildings, this large urban block<br />
is a point of encounter between<br />
the finely-meshed fabric of<br />
city dwellings and the large parcels<br />
of industrial activities near the<br />
canal. As the largest activity on site,<br />
the car retailer D’Ieteren, will be<br />
leaving the block to settle elsewhere,<br />
this block in the heart of the city will<br />
be largely vacant. This can be an<br />
opportunity to conceive a drastic<br />
renewal of the industrial fabric,<br />
allowing more porosity and urban<br />
life inside this superblock.<br />
Beyond mere vacancy, this<br />
site is a strategic place for the city<br />
as a whole. In front of it lies the<br />
slaughterhouse of Anderlecht, being<br />
the largest marketplace of the city<br />
and a hub of very divers activities.<br />
The nearest metro station, Delacroix,<br />
is also part of the new metro loop<br />
in the center, including this part of<br />
the city in what can be considered as<br />
the new central districts of <strong>Brussels</strong>.
