Kees van der LeunAs a tribute to the fierce heatwaves roasting our cities these days, the city of Brussels just turned the Schuman roundabout facing the EC headquarters into a giant slab of concrete.

@Sustainable2050 Good to know Brno is going to get a wonderful sister city.
Ivo 🇪🇺@Sustainable2050 Brussels missed the chance to develop a beautiful green city square with trees, plants and open water.
BernaB@Ivovanwilligen @Sustainable2050 they want to give the people in the EC headquarters the real feeling ;)
Luc@Ivovanwilligen @Sustainable2050 the underground is a train station, parking and metro. But the original plans had a roof that was not built due to budget cuts… https://www.bruzz.be/actua/stedenbouw/beliris-bouwt-schumanplein-zonder-luifel-2025-08-29

They are afraid that the people might gather on this inhumane frying pan and beat them senseless. Roof or no roof.
@stroobl @Ivovanwilligen Yes, and underground on this picture is a parking garage in Tiel, the Netherlands. My sister, with a professional gardener and many volunteers created a butterfly garden there.
Markus Fink@Sustainable2050 with the 30 km/h speed limit, the original roundabout was no longer a death trap
Lars Marowsky-Brée 😷@Sustainable2050 I mean, I guess at least it's white (for the moment)?

The next meeting of the european parliament with the topic "climate" and/or "cityplanning" should be obligatory to happen right there - with *nothing* for a shadow.

Alexia Gaudeul@Sustainable2050 horrible ! I saw this being built, there used to be some trees there :(
LucomoI still see some greenish and brown sources of possible mould there. Someone should use a flamethrower to make that place hygienically pure and clean.
Utopiah (Fabien Benetou)@Sustainable2050 Still infinitely better than what was there before, namely cars.
Roland Dieterich@Sustainable2050 Designed by architects/urban planners who drove from their A/C cooled home in an A/C cooled car to their A/C cooled design bureau.
Erik Wesselius@Sustainable2050 Some 15 years ago there were some shrubs along the inner circle. No trees, but at least better than this!
