A lot is moving in the pentagon, the center of our capital. The creation of the pedestrian zone between Place Fontainas and Place De Brouckre has been the subject of public debate for years. Now that this part of the central avenues is completely finished, thousands of Brussels residents and visitors use it every day and the pedestrian zone is gaining in popularity, as a recent study of the VUB at. The project was a catalyst for many other renovation projects from public space to construction projects in the city center.
Max to the City of Brussels for the complete redevelopment of the Adolphe Max to the City of Brussels, linking the De Brouchpleinre with the Rogierplein, and the graphical streets. The layout of the pedestrian zone is continued in the design.
The construction of the pedestrian zone was a milestone in the transformation of Brussels into a city for people. We must not let these positive dynamics stop now. The City of Brussels and the Brussels Region work together excellently on some renovation projects of public space and buildings in the center. The new Adolphe Maxlaan is an excellent example of this. Visually connect the new avenue of pedestrian zone with the Noordwijk, another alternative zone that we are fully upgrading, Brussels State Secretary for Urban Planning Pascal Smet.
Now that the permit has been obtained, the renovation of the Adolphe Maxlaan can start. After work you can enjoy a pleasant stroll in new, continuous spaces from Fontainasplein to Adolphe Maxlaan. And we are also continuing the renovation of the exterior with many other projects, Brussels Mayor Philippe Close
The makeover of the Adolphe Maxlaan is an important next step in the renewal of Brussels city center. The urban planning services of the City of Brussels and the Brussels Region work closely together on renovation projects of the public space and built environment.
The redevelopment of the central avenues was without doubt an important catalyst for this. Since this radical cut, various renovation projects of streets and other facilities, such as the construction of separate bicycle paths along the inner ring road, the reconstruction of the Kolenmarkt and the Olivetenhof, the reconstruction of the Sint-Katelijnestraat and the surroundings around the new new city building, have been completed. and the redevelopment of the Stalingradlaan, once the works on Metro 3 there have been completed. Many buildings were also renovated or thoroughly renovated. Just think of the iconic Beursgebouw, the Multitower on De Brouckreplein and Theater Variet. The latter is located in the Mechelsestraat. One of the small streets in the zone that will be redeveloped from facade to facade together with Avenue Adolphe Max. In addition to Mechelsestraat, there are also Bridal Street, Finisterraestraat, Nieuwbrug and Sint-Pietersstraat.
Ans Persoons (one.brussels-vooruit), Alderman responsible for Urban Planning and Public Space:
The Adolphe Maxlaan is definitely in need of renewal. Not only the excessive space that the current construction allocates to cars looks outdated, the trees in containers also date from another century. Trees were a decorative element then, today they are an essential part of any redevelopment against battle. By limiting the space for motorized traffic, it became possible to develop a high-quality landscape project. We provide a wide variety of green forms: tall and multi-stem trees, perennials, ornamental grasses and flower bulbs. The avenue will look different every season. We hope that the project will give a new impulse to local trade and that the inhabitants of Brussels will rediscover this prestigious street and its heritage.
The Adolphe Maxlaan as we know it today dates from 1976. The street was constructed with many places for through traffic and parking spaces, pedestrians pushed back on small sidewalks.
With this redevelopment, the Adolphe Maxlaan will bear its former glory. The avenue will be constructed on one level from facade to facade. The style of the pedestrian zone’s street furniture, such as street lighting and bicycle staples, will be continued. The space for the car is reduced, there are many new trees and wide footpaths in bluestone. The relationship between the north and the south of the city.
