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 ‘ecocity’ is one of the seven images within the s-RSA. This image calls for a lively open space, where the urban quality of life is increased by offering residents green spaces to meet, recreate and relax. These green spaces don't all have to look like parks or city forests. Open shelves contribute to the diversification of green spaces in and around the city. In order to increase their utility value for the inhabitants of the city, these areas should be accessible to the public, through paths for pedestrians and cyclists. Based on this definition of green spaces, an urban park structure can be indicated. This park structure must guarantee a continuous and open space that offers more quality of life in all districts. The structural determinants are: water network, green areas, missing links, urban (peripheral) forests, agricultural landscapes (urban and regional landscapes; open space chips) and chips in the built-up space. Purpose: Visualization of the selection map 02-ecocity 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.
