Maelbeek Vallée Verte is an installation created as part of the "Brussels on Holidays" projects (Brussels Mobility grant), and invites citizens to reflect on the future of car mobility and the role that water and vegetation can play in reducing the impact of urban flooding. Gray Street, which partially follows the former marshlands of the Maelbeek catchment area, is particularly vulnerable to water-related issues and sewer overflows, which regularly flood homes with both clear and wastewater.
