The sustainable Regional Development Plan (2013)

Rather than a review of the regional development plan, a new Sustainable Regional Development Plan (see: http://www.prdd.be/) is being elaborated using a participatory process. The area of interest will be extended to the metropolitan area of Brussels. It will include middle term (2020) and long term (2040) objectives. A clear vision will be proposed for all concerned actors. One of the main objectives proposed during the public workshop on the quality of the environment is the protection and increase of biodiversity in the city, under the vision element “green spaces”. Proposed strategic orientations include preserving sites rich in biodiversity and securing the green network, combatting exotic species, increase carrying capacities as green roofs, birdhouses, etc.
