A new step has been taken towards the redevelopment of Stalingrad Avenue, currently under the influence of the vast construction site of the capital’s north-south metro. Urban.brussels has issued a planning permit to the City of Brussels, announced Tuesday the Brussels Secretary of State for Urban Planning, Ans Persoons (Vooruit).
According to this, the central element of the project will be the creation of a new square in front of the Palais du Midi and the development of large walking areas along the facades. A large part of Stalingrad Avenue has been started under construction, as part of the drilling of the central underground link essential to the completion of the metro 3 project.
“With this permit issued, we are preparing for the future. After the reconstruction, Avenue Stalingrad will be transformed: heavily vegetated, with wide sidewalks, separate cycle paths and a large square in front of the Palais du Midi. Stalingrad Avenue will thus regain its status as a dynamic and attractive place in the city center. “, commented Ms. Persoons, in a press release.
The public space affected by the future redevelopment is located between Place Rouppe and the Petite Ceinture de Bruxelles. The City of Brussels can now move on to carrying out the project, to the great satisfaction of Anaïs Maes, the new alderman for public spaces, and the mayor Philippe Close, cited in the press release from the Secretary of State.
