Building the city of tomorrow: the story of citydev.brussels
As the development organisation for the Brussels-Capital Region, citydev.brussels has been working tirelessly to build the city of tomorrow for almost half a century.
Established in 1974 and rebranded in 2013, the organisation is dedicated to attracting and maintaining industrial, semi-industrial, and craft businesses as well as high value-added services to the region by offering them real estate infrastructure at attractive conditions and prices.
In addition to supporting businesses, citydev also offers new housing subsidised by the Brussels region to individuals, intending to provide buyers of property and housing greater living comfort and proximity to their place of work.
The organisation prioritises energy efficiency and sustainability, promoting soft mobility, zero-energy buildings, and responsible water management.
The challenges faced by citydev are significant as they strive to meet the needs of urban integration, accessibility, mobility, soil sanitation, and overall compatibility between the major urban functions of economic activity, housing, amenities, communities, and public spaces.
Despite these challenges, the organisation remains committed to making Brussels a city where life is suitable for all residents.
With a management contract with the Government of the Brussels-Capital Region, citydev has a clear set of missions to fulfil.
And, to help tell the story of their success, the organisation has enlisted the help of #pageinextremis, a strategic design communication agency based in Brussels. The agency will design and produce the hybrid (online and printed) annual report and renew the citydev brand.
With a team of experienced professionals, #pageinextremis is well-equipped to help citydev communicate its successes and continue to build the city of tomorrow.
