New urban development along Koningin Fabiolalaan in Gent, featuring parks, housing, and a bicycle bridge.

The City of Gent, together with the design team and local residents, is re-presenting the revised development plans for the new urban district at Koningin Fabiolalaan following earlier input.

Over the past few years, intensive collaboration has taken place on a development plan for the new urban district at Koningin Fabiolalaan in Gent. Following a previous information session on June 1, 2026, where the final plan was presented and input was gathered on parks and squares, the design has been further refined.
During the upcoming information session, interested parties will receive more details about the design of the park zones and squares, including the location of the cycle path. It will also explain how the input from local residents has been incorporated into the design. The development plan that will be presented shows not only the public space but also the locations of the new homes.
Furthermore, information will be provided on the station works and the planned new bicycle bridge over the Leie river. The project includes the redevelopment of 'zone B' along Koningin Fabiolalaan, an area on a former railway embankment that will accommodate a new urban district with a neighborhood park, a public building, and affordable housing.
Sogent, the owner of the site, is responsible for the redevelopment of this area. The information session will also outline the next steps in the project.
