  • Spatial Planning Can Deal with Transformation and Changes in the Urban Sprawl Laboratory Called Flanders
    Guy Vloebergh, Spatial Planning can Deal with Transformation and Changes in the Urban Sprawl Laboratory called Flanders, 47 th ISOCARP Congress 2011 Spatial Planning can Deal with Transformation and Changes in the Urban Sprawl Laboratory called Flanders Two cases: the spatial structure plan of the city of Ghent and the spatial policy of the municipality of Brasschaat Developing livability on a regional scale Flanders, the north region of Belgium, is one of the most built-up areas in Europe. Planners have to deal with the phenomenon of ‘urban sprawl’. The Spatial Structure Plan of Flanders (1997), a regional spatial policy plan, established a powerful view of the political agenda expressed by the metaphor ‘Flanders, open and urban’. Four spatial planning principles constitute the main themes for the spatial development of Flanders: - deconcentrated clustering or absorption of expected growth with regard to new homes, infrastructure, business premises and recreational facilities in those places where a concentration of these functions already exists; in other words, unbridled sprawl is counteracted; - structuring power of the physical system or the revaluation and strengthening of stream and river valleys and continuous open spaces; - ports as a driving force for the development or expansion of harbours in an international context; - uniting power of infrastructures or a commitment to the relationship between the mobility profile of activities and the accessibility profile of the location. In order to realise a sustainable spatial development and a related change of ongoing trends, these principles are translated into spatial policy measures for urban areas on the one hand and open spaces on the other.

  • Elia Makes Overhead Line in Ghent Canal Zone Visible to Birds
    PRESS RELEASE | Evergem, 1 April 2021 Elia makes overhead line in Ghent Canal Zone visible to birds — Natuurpunt and Elia join forces to make overhead lines more visible to birds — Natuurpunt study shows increased risk on approximately 6% of all overhead lines in Belgium — Overhead line in Evergem one of riskiest to birds, now fitted with bird markers over a distance of one kilometre Evergem - 1 April 2021 - Bird markers have been installed on the overhead line by the R4 road in Evergem to ensure birds can see it better and collide with it less often. Elia, the operator of the Belgian high-voltage grid, installed the markers following a Natuurpunt study that showed that many birds were colliding with this overhead line. Belgium has more than 5,600 kilometres of overhead electricity connections, of which 325 kilometres pose an increased risk to birds. Elia has already installed markers on a total of 50 kilometres. Initial monitoring by Natuurpunt shows that the number of birds injured and killed from collisions has dropped drastically since the markers were installed. Natuurpunt and Elia have been working together since 2012 to see how the overhead line could be made more visible to birds so that they could see it in time and avoid colliding with it. Elia commissioned a risk analysis of its entire high-voltage grid. That analysis, updated in 2021, reveals that 325 of the 5,600 km of overhead lines in Belgium (5.8% of the total network) pose a high risk to birds. Scientific research shows that the number of injured and killed birds decreases sharply after the markers have been installed, sometimes by more than 90%.

Typical and traditional productions: Rural effect and agro-industrial problems 52nd EAAE Seminar - Parma, June 19-21 1997 DIRK VAN LIERDE * Azalea and begonia production in the region of Ghent: a divergent development ABSTRACT Since the end of the 19th century the region of Ghent (Belgium) developed a very important centre of ornamental production. Especially for azalea and begonia production Ghent plays an important role on the international scene. This paper considers the development of this sector and its economic weight for Belgium over the last two centuries A particular evidence will be given to the divergent development of azalea and begonia production during the period 1980-1995 and to the development of this sectors for the next future. INTRODUCTION Since the end of the 19th century the region of Ghent (Belgium) became an important production centre of ornamental plants. The organisation of the Floralies every five years made the region world-wide known for its ornamental plant production. Especially for azaleas and begonia tubers Ghent is playing an important part at the international scene.

  • European Alumni Newsletter
    European Alumni Newsletter – Spring 2019 Dear friends, 270 alumni and family from 27 countries just spent an amazing European Alumni Meeting (EAM) in Ennis, Ireland 2 weeks ago. Can’t express how big my gratitude goes to the organizing tEAM, the sponsors, the participants, as well as the many reactions on FB from many of you; it was truly a magical weekend on the Emerald Island. And that 25 years after UWP’s last tour in Ireland! And in the meantime so many other exciting things are happening in Europe with UWP and its alumni. Enjoy reading the latest news and looking forward seeing hopefully many of you during an upcoming show, local alumni event or reunion in Tucson this summer. In Ennis we also elected our next Euro Rep, since my term ends August 31st after serving 4 years on the Board of Governors (BOG) from UWPIAA. It has been a pleasure and an honour to be able to work with so many of you, and the gratitude and respect I received from the alumni in Ennis was overwhelming.
