科特赖克市中心位置的Leie区域，将是城市重建的主要区域。水域的更改将要符合新的欧洲内河交通规范，因而Leie区域的水道将会变直并且扩大水域。因此，河两岸的一些公共空间将被重新划分。整个城市抓住这次改建机会，将重建一些公共空间，桥梁和码头等基础设施。

随后，为了整个区域的总体规划，将重点设计艾尔伯特公园及区域的连接空间。根据整个城市的愿景，SumProject公司决定将阿尔伯特公园作为孕育整个城市发展的区域，风景园林师加入了整个团队，为整体概念的提升注入活力，根据设计理念，河两岸将会依附地势，建立风格优雅清新的新公园。公园的各个部分被单独定义，并且融入到整个城市的环境中。河的左岸区域被设计成充满活力的空间，为年轻人提供滑板和自行车的活动场地，而右岸则被植物覆盖，形成一个长满草的“布达海滩”

各个区域间的集成运输方式也保证了整个项目的可持续性，作为整个交通网络的中心，桥梁的作用非常显而易见，它起到了沟通了市中心、布达岛等区域的关键性作用。

自重建以来，居民和游客都被吸引到此，慢慢的，一个新的中心开始形成，在这里，文化与娱乐，旅行与居住，各种功能都焕发了新的生机。作为一个必要的基础设施项目，该项目大大的提升了居民的生活质量和城市的形象。

The area of the Leie in Kortrijk’s town centre is the subject of major changes. The water course needed to be adapted to the new European norms for inland waterway traffic and the Leie has therefore been straightened and widened. For this, some of the public space was reallocated with the result of damaged fragments of land on both banks of the river. Kortrijk chose to turn this harsh and radical intervention into a positive and uniting element. The city seized the opportunity to reconstruct the public space, the bridges and wharves along with the infrastructure works.

Subsequently, in the overall master plan of the intercommunalLeiedal for the entire Leie system in Kortrijk, Sum was responsible for the concept and the coordination of the multifaceted and radical reorganisation of the central area between Albert Park and the Budastraat. Sum developed the planning vision and the master plan for the public space, the wharves and the bridges. In addition, Sum was also responsible for the design of the Dambrug and the Groeningbrug, the organisation of the Albert Park and the wharves and the concept of the new bicycle and pedestrian connection (Collegebrug).

In accordance to the city’s vision, Sum decided to conceive the Albert Park as a valley park across which the Leie flowed diagonally. Landscape architects joined the team for the concept. According to this concept, both banks were set up in the same elegant style and the new park was given a unique character based on the valley’s natural flowing relief. The various sections of the park were constructed as separate, defined spaces joined directly to the urban surroundings. Thus, on the right bank, the area between Groeningebrug and Dambrug was set up as space for youth with a skate and bicycle track. The peaceful arm of the Leie at the Buda island was set up as a grassy beach along the Leie, also known as the ‘Buda beach’.

The integration of a good central connection matrix for the various modes of transport also ensures the sustainability of the urban improvement project. For this reason, the adjustment of the infrastructure was also integrated into the overall working method. In doing so, the Dambrug and the Groeningebrug came into being during a first phase. In a later stage, the Collegebrug was built over the Leie for cyclists and pedestrians, as an important link in the network of local paths between the city centre, the Buda island and Overleie. The bridge was designed by Sum and the engineer Laurent Ney. The flowing nature of the bridge means cyclists do not need to overcome a steep climb. At the same time, the oscillation is integrated as a sculpture into the landscaping of both banks.

Since the reconstruction, residents of and visitors to Kortrijk have an opportunity to rediscover this area. Slowly but surely, a new balance is reasserting itself here between living and working, between culture and recreation, between travelling and residing. What began as a necessary infrastructure project has been used as an opportunity to considerably strengthen the identity, the image and the quality of life of the city.
