Reconstruction project staff talked with area families (at times accompanied by an interpreter), so that residents could speak their demands, and their wishes could be put on paper.

This resulted in the following objectives: The new plan of Roombeek (after the 2000 disaster), is based on the original map (a familiar area).

The emphasis is on three axes: the Roomweg from east to west, the Lonneker Spoorlaan from south to north, and the Museum Avenue.

Along the Museum Avenue axis is a strict height restriction, which means that all new buildings must be reviewed by De Bruijn himself.

The three axial roads lead to the traditional town centre of Roombeek, where the Ekenhof and Prismare are located.
