cepezed was commissioned to redesign the largest city square in Europe. For the Grote Markt in the Flemish city of Sint-Niklaas, we created a spacious design with a special peripheral zone.

From chaos to tranquillity 

The square had been dominated by cars for a long time. The surrounding roads were crowded and the square itself was one large, untidy car park.

In our design for the new square, through traffic has been diverted. For local traffic, a clear and unambiguous traffic flow was designed. Parking is now arranged under the fringes of the square.

The new situation 

For both pedestrians and cars, the square is now much more orderly. An inviting wooden promenade surrounds the square, where visitors can stroll, sit on a bench and meet friends. The central area is completely free of obstacles; events take place here on a regular basis.
