The city of Genk has received a 35,000 euro award for its plans to transform the Delcourtplaist in the Zwartberg neighborhood into a greener space. The current area consists of an underused asphalt basketball court. The project aligns with Genk's heat mitigation strategy, aiming to increase green spaces throughout the city. Local residents will have input on what replaces the basketball court.
