This project stands out through its innovative use of territorial marketing as a catalyst for urban transformation focusing on one single key quarter in the city. By co-creating a new brand identity with local stakeholders, it redefines the narrative of Brussels' European Quarter, enhancing both its image and long-term appeal and therefore that of the whole Region and city.
