Concluding notes // Apart from addressing many relevant issues at stake in the low city, the student projects presented in the second part of this paper also make up a spatial logic on a larger scale than just the low city's. Together, these Low City Commons form a new spatial scheme on the scale of Brussels: a north-south public space structure following the Senne valley and counterbalancing/complementing the 19th-20th century concentric park chain established by Leopold II.
