On February 15th, the Usquare.brussels has been inaugurated in the presence of MEP Younous Omarjee, Chair of the REGI Committee at the European Parliament, and Theodora Flikas, from the European Commission’s DG Regio. The former National Gendarmerie Barracks in Brussels are undergoing a transformative redevelopment known as Usquare.brussels. This ambitious project co-financed by the EU focuses on creating a sustainable and cohesive living environment. The #ERDF has enabled the activation of two projects within the Usquare.brussels : 👩🏫 The project led by Université libre de Bruxelles and Vrije Universiteit Brussel has enabled the conversion of several buildings to house the Brussels Institute for Advanced Studies (BrIAS). The buildings will also provide accommodation for foreign researchers and contributing to the creation of an international network of academic and professional relations. 🔎 Financed to the tune of €10.5 million by the ERDF.   🥕 The project, led by SAU MSI (The Urban Development corporation of the Brussels-Capital Region), involves the creation of a sustainable food hall. 🔎 Financed to the tune of €1.6 million by the ERDF.   💡 Did you know? Since 1994, more than 160 projects have been launched in Brussels thanks to ERDF support. Under the 2014-2020 program, which includes Usquare.brussels, 59 projects have been developed in the Brussels-Capital Region. For the 2021-2027 program, launched in 2023, 31 projects have already been selected. Other projects will be selected throughout 2024.

The term 'eco estate' is becoming increasingly popular among developers in South Africa, but what does it really mean? Andreas Wassenaar believes that the term is overused and often used to market developments where no clear environmentally sensitive development structure is in place. According to research by RainHarvest Systems, there are close to 50 eco developments countrywide that refer to themselves as such. However, purists argue that true eco estates should not introduce artificial concepts onto the landscape, allow no agricultural activity and rely mostly on nature's own landscaping. Furthermore, Eco estates should be located in the least sensitive areas of the local ecosystem and strive to offset any negative effects on the environment. They are a win-win for developers and environmentalists alike, protecting the environment and becoming a major attraction as a residential lifestyle option. You also invited to hear Chike Ayodele Igwegbe, founder of Eco Trinity Homes, share his journey on developing Jasmine Eco Estate and explore ways in which you can also integrate sustainability into your own home and the spaces that impact you.
