The Masterplan

In 2021, the City of Charleroi and the Walloon Region approved a Masterplan to transform the Porte Ouest area into a future-oriented territorial and economic development hub by 2050.

The Masterplan defines shared objectives and values, aiming to enhance attractiveness and livability through mixed uses and a flexible, evolving development approach.

By 2026-2040, the Porte-Ouest territorial and economic park will be structured around 5 main entities :

  1. "Le Phare Ouest", the metropolitan park

  2. La Centrale and its Cleantech District

  3. The Urban Port

  4. The District of the Future

  5. A system of public spaces, culture and landscapes

In this context, La Centrale and its Cleantech District aim to :

  • Facilitate the transition towards decarbonation of Walloon companies and Charleroi Metropole

  • Become a place of excellence in Wallonia, Belgium and Europe around specific Cleantech themes

  • Become a platform for innovation, incubation and training in Cleantech

  • Become the first territorial Cleantech Wallonia hub
