BMiX Seminar

Description

This seminar intends to examine planning policies that strive for functional mixing and enhanced accessibility in metropolitan areas. Emerging from research based in Brussels, we are interested in whether and how such policies centering on shifts in spatial form and mobility patterns sustain a livable form of urbanization, i.e. one in which working and living can be achieved for a superdiverse population marked by professional and income polarization. Moreover, a key concern of the seminar is to gain insight into how planning instruments are utilized to influence the uneven geographies of labor, housing, and transportation within, but also across the borders of the Brussels Capital Region. To that end, the seminar reviews old and new models and debates in the literature, offers critical policy analyses, dissects contemporary cases of mixed and transit-oriented development, and paves the way for scenarios that allow to plan and design livable urban areas. The BMiX seminar is organized in cooperation with Brussels Studies Institute and citydev.brussels, and is funded through the Innoviris Anticipate programme.
