Urban planning

A city is a diverse biotope where people live, work, study and relax. Brussels is making many plans to streamline these functions. BRAL wants the government to draw up and implement these plans logically, efficiently and democratically. With sufficient attention to green and blue spaces. BRAL follows the urban planning and administrative processes and puts points for improvement on the agenda. Proposals, analyses, positions or actions related to this can be found below.

London, Copenhagen, Paris and Brussels revealed their plans to avoid floods and sewage overflows. We hope that the information will live on after the conference, so don’t hesitate to view, review and share the different presentations.
