venhoevenCS architecture+urbanism has submitted a masterplan for the expo 2017, arranged to be held in the city of liège, belgium. this development proposes a new eco-neighborhood on the banks of the river maas would provide new opportunities for living, work and leisure for both the event’s visitors and city’s inhabitants. in recent years the city of liège has undertaken major projects to transform the city’s identity and increase access to the river. this development will serve the needs of the exposition with the intention of continuing to improve and provide amenities for the city.
masterplan for liège expo 2017
the intended site is located in coronmeuse, situated on a peninsula along the river maas. the event’s chosen theme of ‘connecting the world’ has been incorporated into the masterplan’s design with various modes of sustainable transportation. accessibility to this location is imperative for the duration of the fair and to support future growth. a proposed tram connection will link the grounds to the city center. a green quay – a bridge with plantings spanning from coronmeuse to bressoux – and ferry service will increase the sites relationship with the city center for both visitors and permanent residents. after the expo, these modes of transportation will support new housing, offices, schools, libraries, shops and other necessary services.
