I'm in #Gent now (also spelled #Ghent, but I'll spell it like the locals do). The reason I'm here is to look at the transportation system under their new Circulation Plan adopted/implemented in 2017. This city of 260k ppl is stunning in its history, charm, and beauty.
To address growing congestion from private cars & to make the city more livable, Gent instituted this Circulation Plan (CP) to give more space to walking, bikes, buses & trams. There are 6 zones & cars need to use the Ring Road (pic) to access them - can't cut through city center
At various spots throughout the city, "snips" were made where cars cannot enter without special licenses (camera enforced). They are marked by planters and signs and attractive red thermoplastic lines to alert people of the change. Bike racks and other elements dot the streets.
Final day of our Vaasa-Ghent twinning visit. Ghent's Climate Plan 📝 to be carbon neutral by 2050 shows need to reduce emissions in the 🏠 sector which accounts for 25% of the city's emissions. How has #gent addressed this?
Ghent provides its citizens with personalised energy advice to encourage household renovations. after which 41% carry out renovations with help from 'de Energiecentrale' and a further 35% carry out renovations on their own!
Advice includes an online tool, house visits, advice on contractors and 💶 and even a 0-1% loan.
