The graduation project wants to define some activity points and events capable of creating social integration. The key to their meaning and success will be the use and the appropriation that the communi¬ty itself will make of them. According to Jane Jacobs the ‘everyday life’ space is ba¬nal and repetitive; however, its dynamism is determined by its mixture of uses and public contacts. The creation of a square, a space of public domain, will have a direct impact on the Anderlecht’s societal sphe¬re. The strategy is to build a ‘city inside the city’ to improve the neighborhood by its differences, its functional and social mix, its places to form relationships and com¬munitarian feelings.
