srsa 01 water city pt

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 'water city' is one of the seven images within the s-RSA. This image calls for a general restoration of the relationship between the city and the water network within it, in which the relationship with the Scheldt plays a crucial role. The restoration of the water network can be done by making the original structure visible again where it is possible. This means increasing the quality of the public domain around rivers, streams, docks and canals and improving their accessibility. In order to give shape to this image, the parts of the water network were determined on the basis of selections. For example, there were river and stream valleys, historical waters: lakes, dikes, beach, new wet nature, Scheldt bridges and new high-rise areas along the water selected Purpose: Visualization of the selection map 01-water city 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.
