Summary: The s-RSA presents the future spatial policy of the city of Antwerp. This policy consists of a generic or city-wide vision and an active or project-based approach. The generic policy can be described as follows: The generic policy is made up of seven images: water city, eco city, port city, railway city, porous city, villages and metropolis and mega city. These images together form the collective memory of the inhabitants and visitors of the city. From a generic approach, strategic policy means prioritising a number of goals, structured according to the images of the city, which in turn determine strategic selections and measures. These selections form the basis for the selection cards. · The images of the city form the frame of reference that every project relating to Antwerp must take into account. This framework is made up of rules drawn up from each image. Since the generic rules apply to the entire territory of the city, the active policy (the spaces, programmes and projects) must also focus on this. The image of the ‘villages and metropolis’ is one of the seven images within the s-RSA. This image is subdivided into a few subimages: Police-centric city, heritage, living, working and recreation. The sub-image of ‘villages and metropolis – living’ wishes to pay attention to the residential function within Antwerp, whereby the former emigration of the native population, even after stabilization, requires extra attention. Getting rid of the causes of a possible suburbanization process is the only way to ward off the process itself. A new balance needs to be found: between open and built-up space, between high-rise and low-rise buildings, between rental and owner-occupied dwellings, between different types and types of dwellings, between dwellings of different price and quality. In order to achieve this: to offer new homes and forms of housing, to encourage selective influx of residents and to use the public domain as a common thread in this entire process. The selections within this image together form the housing programming map. Areas are selected on the basis of a whole series of criteria and specific development rules – taken from the different images of the city – are imposed. Purpose: Visualization of the selection map 06C_living of the sRSA,The demarcations are not hard limits, and can be further specified in the implementation process. The selection map is not a zoning plan or a land use plan. The card does not confirm or deny building rights Creation: The selection maps are the result of the conversion of the seven formatted images of the city into shape format. The autocad maps and the corresponding grids were used as a basis for this. The drawing was done using the large-scale basic map of the city of Antwerp.
