The catalogue brings together a wide range of project types, including road infrastructure, public transport corridors, cycling networks, spatial interventions and water-related projects. All investments were consolidated into one coherent overview, designed to support strategic prioritisation across the region.
The work was grounded in structured engagement with public authorities, experts and regional stakeholders. Through interviews and workshops, SOLV captured how different actors assess infrastructure projects and which criteria they apply when making investment choices. Using the SOLV platform, this input was translated into a shared assessment framework that could be applied consistently across all project candidates.
Each project was evaluated along three clearly defined dimensions. Impact reflects how a project contributes to policy objectives and stakeholder expectations. Cost represents the relative scale of investment using comparable cost categories rather than detailed budget estimates. Risk focuses on implementation conditions such as planning complexity, spatial context, permitting processes and dependencies between projects.
By combining these dimensions, the investment catalogue enables decision-makers to compare projects transparently, explore trade-offs between options and test alternative policy scenarios. This provides a robust and traceable basis for long-term infrastructure planning in the Ghent region.
