Walk along vibrant neighborhood initiatives in the Dampoort district

Something is brewing in the Dampoort district. An urban renewal project tries to offer an answer to a number of challenges the neighborhood is struggling with, such as housing quality, mobility, and living together. Our guide Jeroen is one of the drivers of the "pastory"; a citizen initiative where local residents saved the old rectory building from demolition. During the walk, we get to know both the rich history of the neighborhood and the recent developments. Something is brewing in the Dampoort district.
