  • State Forestry in Belgium Since the End of the Eighteenth Century
    / CHAPTER 3 State Forestry in Belgium since the End of the Eighteenth Century Pierre-Alain Tallier, Hilde Verboven, Kris Vandekerkhove, Hans Baeté and Kris Verheyen Forests are a key element in the structure of the landscape. Today they cover about 692,916 hectares, or about 22.7 per cent of Belgium. Unevenly distributed over the country, they constitute one of Belgium’s rare natural resources. For centuries, people have shaped these forests according to their needs and interests, resulting in the creation of man- aged forests with, to a greater or lesser extent, altered structure and species composition. Belgian forests have a long history in this respect. For millennia, they have served as a hideout, a place of worship, a food storage area and a material reserve for our ancestors. Our predecessors not only found part of their food supply in forests, but used the avail- able resources (herbs, leaves, brooms, heathers, beechnuts, acorns, etc.) to feed and to make their flocks of cows, goats and sheep prosper. Above all, forests have provided people with wood – a natural and renewable resource. As in many countries, depending on the available trees and technological evolutions, wood products have been used in various and multiple ways, such as heating and cooking (firewood, later on charcoal), making agricultural implements and fences (farmwood), and constructing and maintaining roads. Forests delivered huge quan- tities of wood for fortification, construction and furnishing, pit props, naval construction, coaches and carriages, and much more. Wood remained a basic material for industrial production up until the begin- ning of the nineteenth century, when it was increasingly replaced by iron, concrete, plastic and other synthetic materials.

  • Paths to the City and Roads to Death Mortality and Migration in East Belgium During the Industrial Revolution
    Paths to the city and roads to death Mortality and migration in East Belgium during the industrial revolution MICHEL ORIS Professor, Department of Economic History, University of Geneva GEORGE ALTER Professor, Population Institute for Research and Training (PIRT), Indiana University INTRODUCTION For a long time, population historians have believed that urban populations in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period were not able to grow without migration from rural areas (De Vries, 1984, ch. 9). In a famous contribution, Sharlin (1978) emphasized the importance of differential mortality of natives and immigrants in this urban demographic dynamic. However, this question has been neglected by researchers working on the nineteenth century, while it is during that period that rural worlds became more urban and industrial (see Williamson, 1988 for a nice exception). In France (Pitié, 1979, esp. 25-29), in England (Lawton, 1989, 8-9) as well as in Belgium (Van Molle, 1983), several authors have studied the immediate perceptions of such major changes. Ur- banization, especially the industrial type, has been seen as a monster, a chaotic explosion of mines, a mass of factories and miserable houses constructed without order and caution, a cradle of new epidemics like cholera, and a society where promiscuity endangers sexual morality as well as private hygiene (Moch, 1992, 143). Moreover, the chaos of the tentacle towns (“les villes tenta- culaires” of the Belgian poet Verhaeren) consumed a rural world depicted in soft colors, as the refuge of naivety, virtues, morality, health, and so on. Naturally, the migrant was typically pictured as a rustic, morally and physi- cally destroyed by the perversity of the urban environment (Pinol, 1991, 55- 60).

    26 -29 AUGUST 2021 FORMULA 1 BELGIAN GRAND PRIX 2021 Champions Club Packages Programming and Experiences are subject to change based on local health and safety guidelines at the time of the event. Formula 1 media, driver and legend appearances may be hosted virtually or in-person. Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium S PA BELGIUM Often referred to as the “Pearl of the Ardennes”, this Belgian mountain town is where the word spa comes from. Famed for its multiple natural mineral springs, the town is home to Europe’s original health resort – it’s in the name! A trip to Spa is not complete without visiting its hot springs and mineral waters, the perfect antidote to a weekend of action-packed racing. A neoclassic marvel for incoming tourists is the Casino de Spa. For those who fancy a flutter, this is still a very much functioning casino, so bring your passport (and some money!). For racing fans, the Musee de Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, located a mere six miles away from the track at Stavelot Abbey, is packed full of racing vehicles, information on the history of the track, as well as an original taxi from 1912. A trip to Spa and Belgium without sampling some of its unique delicacies like a cone of frites and waffles frosted with icing sugar and whipped cream is a trip wasted. In the heart of Spa you will find L’Art de Vivre, widely regarded as the best restaurant in Spa. Try it.

La province compte 84 communes. Ces communes sont regroupées en 4 arrondissements : Huy, Liège, Verviers et Waremme. La Communauté germanophone fait partie de l’arrondissement de Verviers et comprend 9 communes : Amel (Amblève), Büllingen (Bullange), Burg-Reuland, Bütgenbach, Eupen, Kelmis (La Calamine), Lontzen, Raeren et Sankt Vith (Saint-Vith). La population La province compte 1.109.067 habitants - dont 78.144 en Communauté germanophone - soit 30,4 % de la Région wallonne. Les caractéristiques de la population et son évolution varient fortement selon les arrondissements (et les communes).

Depuis 2012, c’est l’arrondissement de Waremme qui a connu la plus forte croissance (proportionnellement plus de 2 fois plus élevée que dans ceux de Liège et Verviers), suivi par l’arrondissement de Huy. La situation géographique de Huy-Waremme, plus orienté vers Bruxelles, peut expliquer cette évolution. Les communes les plus peuplées sont les villes de Liège (près de 200.000 habitants), Seraing (près de 65.000) et Verviers (plus de 55.000).
