If you live anywhere near Vilvoorde, you may well be familiar with the CAT site, a 55-hectare area of land behind the station that has been the subject of development plans for decades.
Part of the site used to be the parking area for the former Renault factory. This site is now the focus of a master plan for a new urban district featuring 2.500 homes, an event hall, schools, childcare, hospitality and retail outlets, offices, sports amenities, a new VDAB-campus, and a hospital. Yet, key challenges remain, including addressing serious contamination problems and ensuring effective water management.
