How would YOU see Brussels Midi in the future? 👀✨
And what do you think about how it looks like right now?
Currently, it’s a bit… vintage chic, with a twist of temporary chaos since 1893.
Meanwhile: SNCB has (or had ?) plans 💡

I’ll spare you the storyline how Belgian politics pulls it off — with SNCB, the Belgian federal government, the Brussels-Capital Region, Infrabel, municipalities, neighbourhood committees, heritage groups, NGOs and appeals at the Council of State all trying to steer the same project… it’s like a group chat where everyone’s an admin and nobody agrees on the plan 😅 That's part of Belgian Solutions I guess...

So while the project is still “in progress since forever”… let’s ask the real decision-makers: YOU! 😌👇

What would you change to make it more appealing?
