Brussels-Capital Region. Good Move Plan

“Brussels will change in the next ten years. And we will do it together”, says Elke van den Brandt, Minister for Mobility, Public Works and Transport Safety at the Brussels-Capital Region. #Cohesion, a clear #strategy, and a desire for #change are the building blocks of the visionary #mobility transformation that is becoming a reality in Brussels. The Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (#SUMP) is well known as “Good Move Plan” and was developed after an extensive consultation process. This involved consulting Brussels’ 19 municipalities and hundreds of experts, organizations and associations. The central goal of the plan is to improve the quality of life of residents and transform the region into a livable #ecosystem. The plan aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 35% and achieve zero traffic fatalities by 2030. To make this real, the local government will create 130,000 sqm of additional meeting spaces, 50 quiet neighborhoods, they will reduce the speed limit to 30km/h by 2021, and increase the number of pedestrian zones and multimodal options. In February 2020, Brussels received the 8th SUMP Award. The jury was impressed by the amount of involved experts and organisations supporting the project.
