BruGIS website: new map layers available

Two new resources are now available on the BruGIS website: the SitEx building density indicators and a map of environmental permits.

Map of Brussels showing the existing building density

SitEx Building density

A set of four maps showing the existing building density (SitEx) is now available in the perspective.brussels dossier.

These maps allow building density to be analysed based on four complementary indicators: the amount of built-up area (floor/ground ratio), the amount of land occupied by buildings (footprint), average building height (average number of stories) and maximum building height. 

Map of Brussels showing the environmental permits issued

Environmental permits

The map layer for environmental permits is now available in BruGIS. It is located in the Brussels Environment dossier.

This layer makes it possible to find environmental permits issued within the region and access related information.

Designed for land-use planning professionals and municipal authorities, BruGIS is also a valuable source of information for all Brussels residents.
