SRSA_05B_POREUZE_STAD_GROEN_PG City development/Space Summary: The s-RSA presents the future spatial policy of the city of Antwerp. This policy is made up of a generic or city-wide vision and an active or project-based approach. The generic policy can be described as follows: · The generic policy is made up of seven images: water city, eco-city, port city, railway city, porous city, villages and metropolis and megacity. These images together form the collective memory of the city’s inhabitants and visitors. · From a generic approach, strategic policy means setting a number of goals, structured according to the city’s images, which in turn determine strategic selections and measures. These selections form the basis for the selection cards. · The images of the city form the frame of reference that every project relating to Antwerp must take into account. This framework is made up of rules drawn up from each image. Since the generic rules apply to the entire territory of the city, the active policy (the spaces, programmes and projects) should also focus on this The image of the ‘porous city’ is one of the seven images within the s-RSA. This image advocates the use of the adaptive forms of the city and relates to the morphology of the city. It is related to the differences in urban space use and the different flows of users in this space. Urban space and its manifestations must be able to adapt to the changing circumstances and lifestyles of society. The porosity of the city needs to be used and improved by integrating trade activities, living and working in each other’s proximity. The purpose of porosity is to use vacant buildings or unbuilt plots for residential or economic activities, possibly linked to the renewal of the material fabric and the open space. Infrastructure for social life and association life must also be created. The preservation of a certain social and functional mix must be further differentiated at the neighbourhood level. The ultimate goal is to guarantee the quality of living and working in the city and to increase the overall well-being. Since each area in the city has different needs, this requires an area-oriented solution. However, this image has two types of selection that also result in two selection cards: first, the selection for the built-up space and secondly the selection of the green space. The selection of the built areas focuses on the building blocks. It concerns a wish image with attention to image quality of open and built space, functional interweaving, mix of typology, porosity, phasing, etc. The selection map focuses on building block renovation projects in the 19th century belt and on the other to projects in modern urban districts of the 20th century belt. The selection of the green space is related to a green strategy, which focuses on the porous parts of the city. In order to promote green spaces in the various urban districts, a number of areas with a specific policy can be selected. The spatial inventory of green spaces in the city and in the inventory of neighbourhood and district green deficit zones must be used to build a Green Network at city level. Purpose: Visualisation of the selection map 05B_poreuze_stad_green of the SRSA,The delimitations are not hard limits, and one can further specify in the execution process. The selection map is not a zoning plan or land use plan. The card does not confirm or deny building rights Production: The selection maps are the result of the conversion of the seven formatted images of the city into shape format. The autocad maps and the corresponding grids were used as a basis for this. The registration was done with the help of the large-scale basic map of the city of Antwerp. &Creation Date: 2006-09-18T00:00:00 &Publication date: 2006-09-18T00:00:00  Update frequency: not planned & Management: Gert Van Oost &Contact: [email protected]
