“Urban Green House as a catalyst for the city of Ghent and its Arts Quarter .
Gent ICC and its Urban Green House setting will soon become one of the most popular places in Ghent. We apply the principle of localhood, which is a long-term vision that supports inclusive co-creation of a future destination and where human relationships are central. A future destination where human relationships are central, because the Floraliënhal is to become:
– the place where sports can be practised intensively in an enclosed space, in collaboration with t Kuipke velodrome.
– the place where culture comes into its own even better, in collaboration with the S.M.A.K., the MSK, and the Arts Quarter.
– the meeting place for the Arts Quarter and the City of Gent
– …
But above all, it will be a place where knowledge is shared in a state-of-the-art convention center. Embedded in the special academic fabric of Ghent, the Urban Green House will strengthen Ghents ambitions to become a global player in life sciences and biotechnology, culture, material sciences, and healthcare. As a hub for knowledge and meetings, ideas originating from all around the world will be exchanged in Gent ICC in a lush, green environment.
