The deepening of the Master Plan, and the BKP, are located at two levels: at the building blocks level and at the structural level. At the structural level, we reorganize the master plan in function of a symbiosis between the hydrological structure, topography, (highly contaminated) soil situation, infrastructure, buildings and heritage. The symbiosis consists in a strong structure of open spaces — the corridor and the wadis — in which an ecologically diversified landscape can be created; and densely built clusters that create free space for economic development. In the edges of Blue Gate with the adjacent Hobokense Polder nature reserve, the buildings support a landscape transition.

The BKP was drawn up in two gradients: a binding part and a guiding part. The first lays down design principles and forms the basis for the BKP. This basis becomes part of the management charter and thus forms a guiding tool for issuance policy. The guiding part provides space for innovation and experimentation. It is driven by the long-term ambition to promote eco-effectiveness as Blue Gate Antwerp's DNA, even in the long term, increasingly. To do this, we are investigating forms of guidance and “sponsorship”.
