Integration is the main theme of the design
Grontmij has redesigned the layout of the town centre of Machelen, a potential growth area for recreation.
Isolated elements connected with each other in the public space
In consultation with the municipality, Grontmij took care of the preliminary research, the design and the contracting-out of the works for redesigning. Integration is the main theme of the design, which covers the main street, adjoining streets, a square and an arm of the river ‘de Leie’ which is closed of.
Other isolated elements such as the Raveelmuseum, the walking path along the river ‘de Leie’, the church and a square are now connected with each other. Grontmij realized this by means of redesigning the public space such as reorganising parking spaces and the integrating of the bicycle- and walking paths.
