Pact in Kardinaalstraat and Sint-Maartenstraat

We rebuilt Kardinaalstraat and Sint-Maartenstraat. By removing asphalt and adding greenery, we are better protecting the neighborhood against the effects of climate change.

Where: Kardinaalstraat and Sint-Maartenstraat (view on map)
When: 2024 - 2025

What have we done?

Theis two streets in the city center have been transformed into a garden street. This was done by depaving and thus creating a more climate robust environment with more space for green areas and trees.
