The area will have offices, homes, childcare, schools and restaurants. This plan aims to make Ninove better by creating a lively place that meets everyone’s needs making the city more exciting for residents and businesses in the city center.
What is Ninove’s Ambitious Plan to Transform its City Center into a Vibrant, Mixed-Use Community?
The new plan for Ninove divides the area into four parts. They will build a new city center on Centrumlaan for city operations. On other side they will have offices, homes and classrooms. The last part will have services like education, childcare, healthcare and restaurants. This plan aims to make Ninove organized and lively meeting the needs of the community and making the city a great place to live and work. Ninove is planning to make the Inghelant site a lively and welcoming area. The goal is to create a place where people can live happily and prosper, according to Alderman Joost Arents.
Ninove wants to make a new area that meets people’s needs and also becomes a fun place for leisure and social activities. They aim to create a lively place where people can walk around or meet for drinks on weekends, making it a busy community spot. They hope to improve life quality and make a place that attracts both locals and visitors. This plan shows the city’s dedication to making a space that works well and also adds to Ninove’s social and cultural life.
How Will Ninove’s New Green Space Help Mitigate Flooding and Promote Sustainability?
Ninove is making a big green area in the middle of the development. This green space is super important because it makes the place look nice gives people a place to relax and helps the environment. Alderman Joost Arents says that by removing some pavement they can create a natural water buffer that helps stop flooding when it rains a lot. This buffer will make Ninove better at handling heavy rain and floods which is good for making the city more sustainable.
