RSA green singel

Summary: The s-RSA proposes a future spatial policy for the city from an overall perspective. The strategic map is the synthesis of the active policies to be pursued by the s-RSA. This map is structured as follows: The strategic map consists of 5 strategic spaces: the hard backbone, the soft backbone, the green singel, the lively canal and the lower network. A strategic space plays a key role in the active policies of the s-RSA. It is in these areas that the city wants to invest with people and resources as a priority over the next 15 years. Within each strategic space, the s-RSA has defined strategic programmes. A strategic programme gives a more specific and pragmatic content to the strategic space. For each programme, the s-RSA has also identified strategic projects: these are the planned actions by which the structural plan aims to achieve the vision and area-based objectives. Some strategic projects are priorities: these are the so-called leverage actions. The ‘green singel’ is one of the five strategic spaces of the s-RSA. Within the Antwerp Master Plan, there is a plan to separate transit and international traffic from urban traffic. This allows the Singel environment to be set up as a new urban building. It is important to build a new tram line, running along that boulevard of the Eilandje to the south and to Linkeroever via the new Scheldebridge. This urban bridge for local car traffic, cyclists, pedestrians and public transport in the wake of the (new) Singel will become a physical and functional link between the two banks. The ‘green singel’ links the Singel to ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ the Singel and links residential areas. The new Singel itself will be open and green, with room for new offices. The ‘green singel’ also connects a large part of the five soft backbone parks. Objective: Visualisation and demarcation of the ‘green singel’ for the city of Antwerp. The demarcations are not hard borders and can be further specified in the implementation process. In general, the strategic map is not a zoning plan or a land use plan. The card does not confirm or deny any building rights Creation: The map layer is the result of the conversion of the strategic spaces into Shape format. The autocad cards and the corresponding grids were used as a basis for this purpose. The signature was made using the large scale basic map of the city of Antwerp. The map layer indicates where the ‘green singel’ and the corresponding programmes, projects and leveraging actions have been defined.
