17 rinciples Different zones with an own logic edestrian area: no parking spaces on public domain & limited access

18 rinciples Different zones with an own logic edestrian area: no parking spaces on public domain & limited access low-traffic zone: parking spaces reserved for residents

23 Evaluation after 1 year Modal Shift Ondergronds parkeren +

24 Modal Shift Visitors continue to come to Leuven and they use more underground parking + less possibility street parking = less traffic searching for parking Ondergronds parkeren +

34 Creating public spaces 3 tracks Bottom up: temporary transformation squares and streets (placemaking) Co-creation: cooperation civil servants, eighborhood workers and citizens (participatory design and realisation) City investments: regular program public domain (experts design + participation)

35 Straten Vol Leuven Origintated from Leuven Klimaat Neutraal Various experts (urban design, architecture, advertising, education,...) Circulation plan as an opportunity to transform public space

36 Straten Vol Leuven Smoldersplein: square in the center Leuven Infrastructure (traffic) space transformation to a more residence space (place) Cooperation with youth centre Other type of landscaping (native species, durable,...)
