Transforming urban spaces into green sanctuaries! The raised inner garden, designed by , offers a vibrant oasis for both relaxation and play. With its unique layout, the garden features two central spaces linked by a dynamic path that flows like a ribbon offering seating, play areas and clear routes to navigate.

An inspiring blend of design, nature, and sustainability!

On Friday, November 17, we will play the serious game Climate Positive M4H at the Stadsmakerscongres! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Some urban challenges have become so complex that they transcend the scope of the design world’s influence. In the session "Time for a New Order," we will sit down with the broadest possible field of experts: from traditional city makers to bankers, lawyers, economists and scientists!

Participants of the game will collectively aim to score as many points as possible for living quality - based on the 8 principles from the Spatial Framework M4H -, to emit as little CO2 as possible and to store CO2 where possible.

Cooperation between chain partners as the key to success!

This game is a prototype developed by GROUP A – CARBONLAB and Ludopolis in collaboration with the Keilecollectief.
