Parking near Urban Flow
Anyone walking through the pedestrian corridor at Q-Park Godefriduskaai, near the Felix Pakhuis and the MAS museum, is immediately welcomed by a colourful mural. This mural uniquely links art, architecture and mobility.
Art enriches public space
Now, more than ever, Q-Park is positioning itself as sustainable urban mobility partner. Q-Park’s mission goes further than simply operating parking facilities: Q-Park wants to actively contribute to the urban liveability and aesthetics. By giving art a prominent place in its infrastructure, Q-Park creates meaningful public spaces which enrich the visitor’s experience. “With this project, we want to transform the pedestrian access into an inspiring and welcoming place," explains Philip De Brabanter, managing director at Q-Park Belgium. "We believe in the power of art to link infrastructure with its surroundings. Not only for our customers, but for everyone who comes to this neighbourhood."
Neighbourhood connections
As with every project, working together with the local community is very important to Q-Park. Through dialogue with residents, artists and the municipality, the company wants to create projects that strengthen the identity of a location. The Godefriduskaai mural fits in with this concept: it resonates with the rhythm of the city and so contributes to an inspiring as well as functional urban environment.
