KCAP Architects & Planners present their vision today for NEO Brussels, the redevelopment of the Heysel plateau, , to the political arena, the press and the public. The team, KCAP working together with advisors Arup and Fakton, won the international design competition in September 2010. The area is one of the most strategic locations in the Brussels Metropole Region. The design for NEO Brussels aims to strengthen the significance of the Heysel, and to qualify it within a framework for sustainable development.

A masterplan for the Heysel is being developed for the first time since the 1958 World’s Fair. “This requires a strong vision that integrates Brussels, Belgium and Europe in one place,” says Kees Christiaanse, partner of KCAP and ‘Urbaniste en chef’ for NEO.
