Since the neighbourhood in ghent Watersportbaan lacks outdoor spaces and activities, it’s necessary to bring back functions and open spaces. This project adresses those issues by creating a green infrastructure where productive agricultural places are implemented in public zones, educating the citizens on how to be sustainable and to encourage their participation in activities.
This green infrastructure is created as a path from the street to the waterside, with lots of leisure zones and markets on the way, where people can enroll in activities to help cultivate food. In adition the project offers composting areas and fertilizers by reusing biological waste from neighbours. This way it encourages people to participate in this production and learn to be more eco-friendly.
