The Ruisbroek station area is a complex node on the outskirts of Brussels.

Not only the railroad and numerous highways, but also the Brussels-Charleroi Canal, form spatial barriers that contrast sharply with the nearby village center.

By linking social and spatial analyses, we are building a new program proposal in Ruisbroek that responds to local and supra-local needs.

This will help make trade-offs for new infrastructure interventions in the future.
