  • From the Heritage City of Louvain/Leuven to the New Louvain University Town
    Sub-theme B-2 CIVVIH ICOMOS 2016 FROM THE HERITAGE CITY OF LOUVAIN/LEUVEN TO THE NEW LOUVAIN UNIVERSITY TOWN Pierre Laconte1* 1President, Foundation for the Urban Environment, Abdijdreef 19, Kortenberg 3070, Belgium Abstract The historic Flemish city of Leuven (Louvain in French), was a major centre of the textile industry in the middle ages. It suffered industrial decline, leading to urban renewal in 1425 through the creation of a university. The Louvain/Leuven culural heritage of high density mixed residential, commercial and university buildings is well preserved, inter alia the “Beguinage”, an urban area of small houses and gardens for single old women, gradually abandoned and renewed in the 60’s to house university staff (World Heritage inscription 1988). Belgium’s language conflict led to the French-speaking section of the university, its staff and students moving out of Leuven into the French-speaking part of the country. The university choose to create a completely new university town, and bought in 1968 920 hectares of farmland, less than 30 km from both Leuven and Brussels, on which to build a “New Louvain”. This new university town aimed from the start at reproducing the Leuven university and urban mix, being therefore both a “place of memory” and a place for contemporary university planning and architecture (Abercrombie Award of the International Union of Architects 1978). The two cities are connected since 1975 by a direct train line. In 2016 the two cities decided to twin, while the two universities jointly organised the 500th anniversary commemoration of Thomas More’ “Utopia”, a world cultural landmark published in Louvain/Leuven in 1516, and are developing various common projects.
