Winner of the Green Cities Europe Award 2025 – Belgium

We are thrilled to announce that Belgium has won the prestigious Green Cities Europe Award 2025 with the outstanding Zuidpark project in Antwerp. This exceptional urban transformation stood out among strong competition from across Europe, showcasing how thoughtful design and green infrastructure can revitalise underused space while boosting biodiversity, climate resilience and quality of life in the city.

We also extend our congratulations to France, which secured second place with the innovative Parc des Ateliers project in Arles, and to Poland, which took third place with the inspiring “Burza” Action Park with the Warsaw Uprising Mound project in Warsaw. Each of these exemplary initiatives highlights the powerful role of nature-based solutions in creating greener, healthier and more liveable urban environments across Europe.
