Spacial governance model Rupel region
Abstract
Together with the Vlaams Bouwmeester, DSH is working on a spatial governance model for the Rupel region on behalf of the Flemish government. The area-based integrated approach works on three tracks: (i) long-term narrative/perspective, (ii) short-term individual concrete projects, and (iii) communication and support generation. Through conversations with stakeholders, a coalition for this regional spatial journey is being built. An atlas with project scan will define the role of the Flemish master builder in this trajectory. The atlas will indicate how the 30 defined projects in the Rupel region will be spatially embedded and possible conflicts and synergies will be mapped. A broad stakeholder workshop will test draft variants of the process architecture for area-oriented policy. In this way, a spatial governance model for the Rupel region will be drawn up together with the stakeholders.Researcher(s)

Abstract
Logistics activities in Flanders are constantly increasing. This evolution supports our prosperity and will continue.This growth translates into more transport and expansion of logistics capacity transport infrastructure logistics buildings goods handling zones: terminals, car parks, bulk storage (raw materials and waste) logistics business parks. This evolution is reinforced by the transition to circular economy. This project aims to make logistics business parks and real estate more sustainable in terms of space, mobility, drought, climate and nature by stimulating, testing and publicizing innovative solutions for rational and circular use of space, resources and infrastructure and the collaboration and business models that support these solutions. Within this collaboration with VIL, VITO and VLAKWA, UA focuses on making land use, mobility and biodiversity of business parks more sustainable.Researcher(s)
