Development of the Local Mobility Contract for the Chant d'Oiseau Neighbourhood
The Local Mobility Contract (LMC), introduced by the Regional Mobility Plan, aims to promote traffic calming and improve the quality of life in neighbourhoods by strengthening cooperation between municipalities and the Region.
Each LMC is based on a mobility study that also incorporates public space redesign proposals. The approach is participatory, involving residents, users, political leaders, and technical experts.
The Region has entrusted the team led by Stratec with the implementation of several LMCs, including that of the Chant d’Oiseau neighbourhood.

Context
The Chant d’Oiseau neighbourhood is located on the outskirts of Brussels, straddling the municipalities of Auderghem and Woluwe-Saint-Pierre.
It is a predominantly residential area, equipped with facilities and green spaces, and facing several challenges: narrow streets with residential parking where active modes of transport have little space, commercial areas to be revitalised, lack of permeability, and road safety issues on the main roads bordering the neighborhood.
Methodology
The mission, still ongoing, is structured in three phases: multimodal and multi-thematic diagnosis, circulation plan, and intervention plan, with strong participation from policymakers, experts, and citizens.
The diagnosis combines objective data (counts, Floating Car Data) and subjective data (interviews, user feedback). The development of the circulation plan is carried out using a scenario-based approach, compared through multi-criteria analysis and co-constructed with stakeholders.
The participation process includes policymakers (meetings, workshops), technical experts (workshops), and citizens/users as target audiences (exploratory walks, workshops on targeted topics).
Results
The mission aims to define a shared vision for this neighbourhood with a focus on sustainability and resilience, as well as a concrete intervention plan to achieve it: public spaces to be redesigned (with principles of greening, space activation, etc.), associated circulation plan (phasing, potential pedestrian accessibility loops, reinforced cycling routes, etc.).
