Antwerp - The Life-Sized City - S04E05 Full Episode

Antwerp: activists, streets, and the fight for a life-sized city Antwerp was once a global powerhouse of trade and diamonds. Today, it’s a city of sharp contrasts: mega-projects and car tunnels on one side, citizen-led street transformations on the other. In this episode of The Life-Sized City, we meet the people reshaping Antwerp at ground level: neighbors de-paving streets, a co-op renovating homes for families, a community kitchen that turns food waste into dignity, and organizers battling to reclaim public space in dense districts like Borgerhout. We also examine big-ticket plans like the first-ring parks and ask what actually delivers livability now. Antwerp’s historic rise and unassuming present: port, Scheldt, diamonds, identity Public-space controversies: quays redevelopment, a new car tunnel, and greenless design choices Commons Lab with Koen Wynants: de-paving, pocket greening, citizen ownership of streets, bike parking with a green roof Housing under pressure: Dirk Depover and Collective Good renovating century-old homes for low-income families Borgerhout realities with Ali El Moussaoui: youth, scarce open space, the need for places to belong De Kompaan community kitchen: gleaning, cooking, and building social networks from surplus food Culture squeeze: filmmaker Jan Beddegenoodts on the disappearance of creative spaces Mobility truths: car dominance, arguments for human-scale fixes, playful street tactics like “traffic bingo” First-ring parks funding and the debate over mega-solutions vs everyday interventions Featured voices Koen Wynants — Commons Lab Dirk Depover — Collective Good (co-op housing) Ali El Moussaoui — Saamo, Together on the Streets Jan Beddegenoodts — Filmmaker, Warm Regards from Antwerp Keywords Antwerp urbanism, Antwerp public space, Antwerp cycling, Antwerp housing, Borgerhout, citizen activism Antwerp, de-paving, street greening, community kitchen Antwerp, creative spaces, port of Antwerp, Scheldt river, first-ring parks, traffic calming, tactical urbanism, The Life-Sized City. #Antwerp #Urbanism #TheLifeSizedCity #Belgium #PublicSpace #Cycling #TacticalUrbanism #AffordableHousing #Community #Depaving #ActiveMobility #CityDesign #SustainableCities #Borgerhout #StreetGreening #anvers #antwerpen #lifesizedcity #mikaelcolvilleandersen #cities 0:00 Intro 2:48 Pascal Gielen - Antwerp's DNA 9:05 Commons Lab - Greening the City 14:26 Tackling Housing Crisis 21:53 SAAMO - tackling youth exclusion 28:37 Community Kitchen 33:02 Artists vs Developers 39:04 Osterwheel Highway Project 44:41 Activists Fighting Traffic 50:22 Outro
