Environmental Reporting. Briefing 1. Land take, The growth of settlement area: Evolution during the period 2013-2022 in Flanders

The settlement area in Flanders is continuously increasing. By 2022, as much as one third (32.4%) of Flanders' surface area has been taken up by human activities. However, in the past three years, the rate of land take has been decreasing to an average of 3.8 ha/day. The recent decline in the rate of land take can be attributed to the fact that the rate of land take for housing and the economy is slowing down and, in the case of agricultural infrastructure, even declining. The settlement area is three times higher in some regions than in others. Rural regions have the largest spatial footprint and this is still increasing.
