Green housing in Brussels.
Have you ever dreamt about an ecological neighbourhood where you can easily park your bike? A place where you can let your children play outside without bigger worries and where neighbours share more than just the usual small talk?
In a place like Brussels this may seem utopian – or do we just need to wait until someone makes the first step to make this happen?
Last week a group of people that has this vision met for a first brainstorm. What are you hoping for, what are your fears and how do we overcome these? A ‘soft’ session for a first get to know each other and see where one can take this project from there.
In Germany green housing projects are well established (I actually grew up on one) whilst this is still new in Belgium and so far brussels has never seen a project realized by individuals as the initiators. This may change very soon it seems when looking at the group of motivated people that I met last week.
The next meeting will be in 2 weeks time. For more info visit our group:

Hi,
Even though I do not live in Brusels, I love the conception and I’d like to participate in it. I wouldn’t mind to move to Brusels to take part in it.
Please keep me informed of everything.
Thank you.
