Seeking insights from Paris’s successful regeneration projects, Ghent focuses on revitalizing polluted private areas into vibrant public spaces. The FNO-site, a former industrial zone, will be repurposed from brownfield into a green-centric residential district, leveraging datasets on heat, drought, and urban planning. Preserving heritage while promoting environmental sustainability, Ghent wants to ensure a resilient, green future for its residents.
