Goals of an Axis and Housing Block Contract?
An Axis and Housing Block Contract has the following goals:
- decongesting and making courtyards of blocks and axes permeable and implement systems to lessen climate impacts
- revalue buildings by renovating them first and only then by demolishing and rebuilding buildings or erecting new ones
- upgrading public spaces to improve their urban and ecological quality (function as a place to stay, meet or relax, linking the green and blue network)
- using the axis more intensively with housing, local public facilities and economic activities, making it more user-friendly and accessible for people actively moving around and applying systems to counter the effects of global warming
- taking more account of citizens' projects (from associations, the neighbourhood itself,...)
