Explore the exciting urban transformation project in Spa, where the new RAVeL network is revolutionizing transportation and enhancing the city's green spaces. This ambitious initiative connects the Spa-Géronstère train station with the extensive RAVeL network, creating a seamless link throughout the region. Spanning approximately 2000 kilometers, the RAVeL network promotes eco-friendly transportation options, including cycling, walking, horseback riding, and accessibility for individuals with reduced mobility.
Drawing inspiration from renowned projects like New York's High Line and Paris' Coulée Verte, the Spa RAVeL aims to become the High Line of Spa. This project is not just about transportation; it's about integrating environmental and ecological values into urban development. Native plantings and sustainable materials like concrete and wood are thoughtfully selected to enhance the natural charm and durability of the infrastructure.
The project also incorporates traditional water management techniques, ensuring that rainwater nourishes the surrounding terrain and plant life. As the project progresses, future plans include connecting the new RAVeL section with the existing network, providing continuity and potentially developing a small park area for children.
Join us on this journey to create a greener, more accessible Spa, where nature and urban life coexist harmoniously. Discover how the RAVeL network is transforming Spa into a vibrant, eco-friendly city for everyone.
