Report VIII: Conclusions. Brussels by us, collective ideas for a smart future.

This report is the final summary report of the Brussels by us project. The Brussels by us project started in January 2019 and ended in December 2019. The project supported citizen participation in the Brussels-Capital region through the usage of a mobile application with beacon technology. Further, the project also organised different offline activities through co-creation workshops and walking tours to collect the opinions of users. Citizens could voice their opinions about the functional mixity in the North Zone, the design of the public space and commercial offer in the Central Zone (pedestrian area), and the connection between the universities (VUB/ULB campus) and the city in the University District. During the project lifetime, Brussels by us engaged 140 citizens through its offline activities and 640 citizens downloaded the mobile application. This report gives an overview of its main objectives, its Living Lab methodology, the technology as well as the main results per zone. For more in-depth results about each zone, the reader is advised to consult the specific reports per zone (report 2-6).
