The city of Antwerp is working on the future of the Linkeroever Scheldt riverbanks with a green park and robust dykes, while Herentalsebaan in Deurne has been fully renovated.

AG Vespa has launched a call for the temporary use of the former De Lijn bus depot at Tramplein in the Zurenborg district. The city is seeking an organisation or entrepreneur to activate the site as an accessible meeting place for the neighbourhood. Applications can be submitted until January 18, 2027, with a concession period of ten years.
The Scheldt riverbanks on Linkeroever will undergo a transformation in the coming years with the creation of a 6-kilometer green park along the river. This park will be used for walking, sports, and play, while new dykes will protect the area against storms and waterlogging. As the plans for the south and north zones are nearing completion, the design process for the middle zone, the area around Frederik van Eedenplein, has now begun.
The complete renovation of Herentalsebaan in Deurne, a collaboration between the City of Antwerp, De Lijn, and water-link, is now complete with the finishing of the second and final phase. These works have improved comfort for all road users, including more accessible tram infrastructure, resulting in a more pleasant living environment for residents and passers-by.
Antwerp, Flanders' largest city with 570,000 inhabitants and a rich history as a port city, is known for its diversity, creativity, and entrepreneurship. The city offers a unique blend of culture, fashion, culinary highlights, and shopping opportunities.
