RSA soft spine

Summary: The s-RSA proposes a future spatial policy for the city based on a general vision. The strategic map is the synthesis of the active policy to be pursued by the S-RSA. This map is structured as follows: The strategic map consists of 5 strategic areas: hard spine, soft spine, green girth, vivid canal and bearing mesh. A strategic space plays a key role in the active policy of the S-RSA. It is in these spaces that the city wishes to invest with people and resources as a priority for 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 proposed actions with 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 "soft spine" is one of the five strategic spaces of the s-RSA that connects the green open spaces in the city. Watercourses are often the connecting element. Within the "soft spine", the s-RSA distinguishes 5 large urban parks: the Scheldepark on the Left Bank and Hoboken the Zuiderpark between the Antwerp South and Wilrijk the Schijnvalleipark along the Schijn, Spoor Noord, Spoor Oost and Deurne Noord the Noorderpark in Ekeren north of Merksem the Havenpark as a buffer around the port. The parks connect the Scheldt with the districts and peripheral municipalities and are to a large extent interconnected by "the green canal". The main objective in this strategic area is to: creating a powerfully coherent ecological and accessible system. It will interact with the hard spine to determine the main structure of the city. Purpose: Visualization and demarcation of the "soft spine" for the city of Antwerp. The demarcations are not hard limits, 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 building rights Creation: The map layer is the result of the conversion of the strategic spaces to 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. The map layer indicates where the "soft backbone" and the corresponding programmes, projects and leverage actions are delineated.
