Kardinaal Mercier广场位于比利时Jette市的中心，但这并不是造成这里人气旺盛的唯一的原因。以前的市政厅如今已经成为警察局、车站、有轨电车、巴士站、教堂、图书馆、学校和其他公共基础设施的聚集地。这意味着在此次的设计中，城市广场的原始格局必须予以保留和联系。而且如果可能的话，这些公共设施之间的联系还要尽可能的紧密。
在接下来的几年里，这块场地经历了一次重大的改造。现有的东部地下通道和西部通道进行了创建、升级，允许旅客在公交站台, Kardinaal Mercier 广场、汽车公园之间自由往返，空间的可访问性和景观质量大大改善。有轨电车和巴士是这个场地中第二重要的公共交通网络，它们还在教会南面有一个交汇的节点。小汽车也是这个多元化的连接通道中的主角，场地中设有短期停车位等。
广场上的停车位被移到一个沿着道路居民楼的狭窄的位置。通过这种方式广场空间得以重新分配并保持其完整性。场地设计的结构允许交通方向在未来根据需要进行改变，不需要重新设计。
整个广场不仅提高了教堂、老市政厅、车站和图书馆之间的联系，也为公民提供活动空间，场地中细长的木制长椅给人们提供休息的地方。设计师还更换了场地中原有的一些植物，这些风格特异的树木种植方式更加符合场地结构及其连续性。景色优美的市政公园在邻近广场的一侧设置了一个引人注目的大门，通过这一方式巧妙地与广场连接起来。

Kardinaal Mercier Square lies in the centre of Jette, yet this is not the only reason why it is a hub for civic activities. The old town hall – which nowadays serves as a police station, the station, a major tram and bus stop, the church, the library, schools and other central activities can be found on or nearby the square. This means that in the design, the network of urban connections over the square must be safeguarded and, if possible, expanded as much as possible. The activities on the square demand a small-scale extension of connections for slow traffic, whereby the barrier of the train track can be levelled in various ways.
Multimodal junction
Over the next few years, the station in Jette will be undergoing a major facelift within the scope of the Regional Express Network (GEN), which provides the opportunity to organise and represent the desired spatial and functional continuity. The existing eastern passage under the tracks has been upgraded and a new western passage has been created. Accessibility and spatial quality have been drastically improved, and allows travellers to move between platforms, Kardinaal Mercier Square and the northern car park on Dupré Street with ease. Tram and bus, the second important link in the public-transport network, have a joint stop at the southern façade of the church. Since the car also has a leading role in this multimodal framework, short-term parking spaces and a kiss & ride zone are to be introduced in front of the station. Two parking spaces are planned on the centre of the square for people with a disability. From this point, there are two small walking lines toward the police station, the library and the station.
Avoiding search traffic
The parking spaces on the square have been cut back to a narrow parking area along the road and a parking cluster for residents in the northern section of L. Theodoor Street. In this way, the space is redistributed and the stay acquires a central place on the square. The design has a neutral stance toward motorised traffic. The structure of the area under development allows traffic directions to be altered or closed off in the future, without the design having to be adjusted. The police can circulate freely over the square, just as the ceremonial vehicles for the church and the town hall. There are lowered strips at various places in order to organise loading and unloading, to allow the buses to circulate and make necessary fire service manoeuvres possible. The long-term parking is concentrated on the north side of the station. The current car park has been optimised and increased by cutting into a plot of wasteland belonging to the municipality. By concentrating parking here, lost traffic is avoided and Kardinaal Mercier Square can fulfil its role as Jette’s reception room to the full.
The place to be
The interventions thus improve the identity and the quality of the surroundings on the square. The church, the old town hall, the station and the library are connected with each other spatially by keeping free the lines of sight and the walking lines, and by common paving. The square offers space for civic activities and events such as music festivals, the brocante market and the Christmas market. The elongated wooden benches entice people to take a rest and to enjoy the setting offered, or somewhere for a good chat with friends or a spot for school children to picnic at lunchtime. If you also take the terraces at various places on the edges of the square, then Kardinaal Mercier Square is the place to be in Jette. The whimsical way the trees are planted over the square refers to the intended continuity in the greenery and park structure. By removing some of the trees and planting new ones, an enhanced composition of age is brought about and the prevalent east-west direction of the trees is broken up. The pleasant municipal park is subtly inserted into the square, and gains a striking entrance gate. The park entrance is marked out by board steps and distinctive awnings as a contemporary interpretation of a kiosk. Small-scale performances and events can take place here in an informal fashion, although the main function of the kiosk is to announce the park.
The desired link function is best represented by the park path that meanders over the square. The path is has been executed in a contrasting, smooth material and more than being a meandering element, it also organises the walking lines, stops and zones in a playful way. The park path cuts across of the subareas of the station environment, and threads them together.
