Walk
67 The canal banks: a landscape of many faces
[Neighbourhoods] [Work in progress]
Strolling along the canal banks offers a unique mix of urban renewal and industrial past. Iconic examples of urban reconversion, stylish new housing projects, contemporary cultural venues and street art all make for a visually rich experience.
In a single glance, greenery, a tower, an old industrial building and water come together. There is also a museum in the making and a new residential district: work in progress. To explore all this in more detail, the walk starts at the Sainctelette bridge and heads north, passing places such as Becopark, Tour & Taxis, the Up-site tower and the Material Village.
Who lives or works here? Where can one eat or relax? Where are the cultural and sporting spots hidden? The walk begins at Place Sainctelette and ends at the Material Village, with a few detours along the way.
In collaboration with Katelijne Hermans.
