What is the background behind Guimardstraat remodeling?
Guimardstraat remodeling is part of a general urban regeneration program based on the success achieved in the revitalization of the historical areas of Puerto and Industrial in Antwerp (including the Island of the District).
Historically, Heleternet suffered economically, physical decomposition after abandoned industrial activities (which would move or lessons, causing applications to fall) behind abandoned buildings, United Spaces. By necessity, Antwerp began projects particularly in urban planning from the end of the 20th century, whose objective was to preserve heritage while integrating new ones. This strategy managed the renewal of old buildings against new structures, improving public spaces and infrastructure.
As well as the remodeling of Guimardstraat seeks the revitalization of a previously forgotten area, the latter would be preserved by combining patrimonial aspects with future urban needs.
The concept of slow and sustainable urbanism is applied to the project, exhibiting a preference for mixed use and the best amenities for the public. It is a result of what is learned from the success of Antwerp in the integration of the past with the future in an urban rebirth, which creates an impulse of economic revival and an impulse of community incorporation.
