MOBILISE studied the impact of the pedestrianisation of Brussels’ central boulevards on people’s mobility and their appreciation of the city centre. Surveys were conducted among three groups: 1) residents of the larger metropolitan area, 2) people who work in the centre (online), and 3) visitors (face to face), before (2017) and after (2021) the physical makeover of the streets. Despite the initial controversy, results show an overall increase in appreciation of the pedestrianisation, particularly among those who live close and use public transport, walk or cycle.
