What if a former industrial site could be reborn as a beacon of sustainability? Right here in Laeken, Brussels, Tivoli Greencity stands as a testament to this remarkable transformation. Tivoli Greencity replaced an old industrial area. It’s centered around three magnificent century-old trees, breathing life into the landscape. Tivoli Greencity isn’t just a residential area. It’s a vibrant, mixed-use development. It boasts an impressive array of features. These include around 400 passive and zero-energy housing units, an SME park, and even a fablab. It’s a hub for sustainable entrepreneurship, nurtured by an on-site incubator. Tivoli Greencity pulsates with community spirit, fostered by retail businesses, two nurseries, and numerous communal gathering spots. Imagine rooftop gardens flourishing with a dozen collective vegetable plots. Picture an experimental greenhouse, a wooded square, and gardens nestled within the blocks. Tivoli Greencity is more than green. It’s a haven for wildlife. It offers 45 nesting boxes for swifts, sparrows, and bats. The area also prioritizes cyclists, providing 663 bicycle parking spaces. Tivoli Greencity has garnered international recognition. It achieved the highest score ever recorded worldwide for the Breeam certification. It even won the prestigious “Regional Award: Western Europe” category at the Breeam Awards. This innovative project isn’t just about sustainable building practices. It’s about fostering a sense of community. It’s also about promoting a harmonious balance between urban living and the natural world. Tivoli Greencity is a glimpse into the future of sustainable urban development. It is a place where ecological responsibility and community spirit intertwine.
