VB project idea SEE: SAFETY, ECOLOGY & ECONOMY IN CLIMATE PROOF AREAS


Description

In densely populated areas, we need multifunctional areas. Along the Scheldt, flood control areas improve the safety and ecology of Flanders. However,agriculture is no longer possible in these areas.To support a shift in the local economy,we want to help municipalities attract visitors and tourists to strenghten local economies.Working closely with local stakeholders, should allow to develop revenue schemes and a'common' business plan that allows the stakeholders to be self-sufficient so permanent governmental investments are no longer necessary.
