Strong community roots in Brussels priority neighbourhoods — seeking consortium partner for PARTICIPATION-02
Project Officer – Social Urban Planning at SoHab – Association of Solidarity for Housing and Habitat
Belgium
About
We are looking to join a consortium responding to PARTICIPATION-02.
What we bring to the consortium: We have a deep-rooted presence in socially deprived urban neighbourhoods (Anderlecht, Forest, Brussels City, etc.…), enabling direct access to diverse and vulnerable resident communities. Our teams are experienced in community mobilisation, participatory processes and grassroots co-creation with inhabitants as active agents of neighbourhood transformation.
We hold strong operational knowledge of local governance structures, social planning mechanisms and neighbourhood revitalisation strategies in Brussels, and can serve as a demonstration site in a multilingual, multicultural urban context. Our local partnerships with municipalities, social housing operators and local organisations make us a credible and well-connected implementation partner.
We are looking for: A consortium coordinator (university, research institute or architecture firm) with expertise in spatial design, urban planning or SSH research, and partners in at least 2 other EU Member States.
