Brussels City Site Highlights Ongoing Infrastructure Work Across Neighborhoods
Storyblocks

The City of Brussels has refreshed its online overview of active urban development projects, spotlighting efforts to reduce paved surfaces, add housing and improve cycling routes in multiple districts.

These initiatives matter now because residents face limited access to city services on the coming Monday and Tuesday public holidays, making digital information on long-term neighborhood changes more useful for planning.

Projects listed include depaving work in the Pentagon area and in Laeken, transitional housing at the Cogge site, renovation at the De Mot-Couvreur Institute, new housing at the Vierges location, green continuity improvements at Beyseghem south of Versailles, a bicycle track upgrade at Versailles, and housing construction by the Horticulteurs group.

Projects shown on the municipal map

The page presents each scheme with a photograph and short label describing its purpose, such as opening spaces to residents or extending cycling infrastructure. No statements from individual officials or experts appear on the listing itself.

One entry covers development of transitional housing under the Cogge project. Another focuses on renovation work at the De Mot-Couvreur Institute intended to open spaces for local use. Housing construction is noted at both the Vierges and Horticulteurs sites.

Green-space and mobility items include the Beyseghem project for continuity south of Versailles and the Versailles bicycle-track renovation and extension. Depaving appears in two separate entries, one for the Pentagon and one for Laeken.

Where to find updates

Readers can visit the projects page directly or use the linked interactive map to see locations. The same site also directs people to online services at MyBXL for documents and appointments while offices remain closed on 20 and 21 July 2026.

City services note that the Deaths Service will stay reachable by telephone during the holiday period. All other listed projects remain viewable online without need for in-person visits.
