2. Formalize and clarify the conditions for the design of public spaces in order to list normative “solutions” that will be the basic rule or the standard solutions that will be adaptable to each project. The expected Manual must reflect the multiplicity of cultural facets, social and ecological issues in Brussels.

3. Contribute to the proper development of places that must meet in a sustainable way the social, economic, heritage and environmental needs and mobility of the community by the qualitative management of the living environment, by the sparing use of the soil and its resources and by the conservation and development of cultural, natural and landscape and by improving the energy performance of buildings as well as mobility (Article 2 of CoBAT).

4. Create a tool as complete as possible: it will look at each mode of user of public space as well as the whole of the Brussels-Capital Region.

5. Take into account the various regional regulations in force and ensure that they are contextualized through concrete and emblematic examples.

6. Create a flexible instrument that can evolve over time according to new knowledge.
