‘More People, More Future’ is the name of an online tool we launched in the final phase of a strategic and creative collab with Architecture Workroom Brussels and the Belgian province of East-Flanders. The culmination of their joint project for the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam.

The region in and around Ghent in Belgium will have about 40.000 more inhabitants by 2035. This means a need for extra living spaces, various kinds of services, spaces to work, etc. But what if we can turn this demographic growth into an opportunity to make the region more sustainable, healthy and climate-proof? This is what the IABR Atelier Oost-Vlaams Kerngebied had been looking into these past years.
