Between Green Spaces and Mobility: Exploring Diverging Perspectives on the Admission of Motorised Traffic in the Bois De La Cambre
Between Green Spaces and Mobility: exploring diverging perspectives on the admission of motorised traffic in the Bois de la Cambre. May 21, 2021. Nicola da Schioi, Claire Pelgrimsii, Sebastiano Cincinnatoiii, Anneloes Vandenbrouckeiii. i Vrije Universiteit Brussel - ii Université libre de Bruxelles - iii Brussels Studies Institute A copy of this report can be downloaded at: https://bsi.brussels/en/research/research-report-between- green-spaces-and-mobility-exploring-diverging-perspectives-on-the-admission-of-motorised-traffic-in-the- bois-de-la-cambre/ 1 2 Between Green Spaces and Mobility: exploring diverging perspectives on the admission of motorised traffic in the Bois de la Cambre We inquired individual preferences in relation to different setups of the Ter Kamerenbos/Bois de la Cambre. We analysed the profiles of groups with different preferences in relation to their use of the park, their socio- demographic situation, the places where they live and work, their mobility practices and access to green spaces. We ran an online survey between Nov. 27 and Dec. 7, 2020, for which we received 7252 valid responses, which we divided into three groups based on respondents’ preferences for the park’s setup: Allow Traffic, Middle Ground and Ban Traffic (min. group size 1800). While our sample is not representative of the population at large, it is adequate to study the profiles of people displaying different preferences for the park. Looking at different motivations for preferring one or the other setup for the park, and at the use of the park before and during traffic restrictions, suggests an area of tension between traffic fluidity and the recreational use of the park.

“ I Feel Increasingly Like a Citizen of the World”
expat Spring 2013 • n°1 timeEssential lifestyle and business insights for foreign nationals in Belgium INTERVIEW “ I feel increasingly like a citizen of the world” SCOTT BEARDSLEY Senior partner, McKinsey & Company IN THIS ISSUE Property for expats Yves Saint Laurent shines in Brussels The smart investor 001_001_ExpatsTime01_cover.indd 1 11/03/13 17:41 ING_Magazine_Gosselin_Mar2013.pdf 1 11/03/2013 14:53:19 001_001_ExpatsTime01_pubs.indd 1 11/03/13 17:48 Welcome to your magazine t’s a great pleasure for me to bring you the ﬁ rst issue of Expat Time, the quarterly business and lifestyle maga- zine for foreign nationals in Belgium. Why a new magazine for the internationally mobile Icommunity in Belgium? Belgium already has several good English-language magazines for this demographic. However, from listening to our clients, we have realised that there is a keen interest in business and lifestyle matters that aren’t covered by the current expat magazine offer. Subjects like estate planning, pensions, property, work culture, starting a business in Belgium, investments and taxation are of real interest to you, but they don’t seem to be answered in full by any of the current English-language expat magazines. That is a long sentence full of dry business and investment content. It is, however, our commitment to bring a fresh and lively perspective to these subjects with the help of respected experts in the various ﬁ elds. We will look not only at topics related to business in Belgium. The other half of Expat Time will be much lighter and devoted to lifestyle in Belgium: insights from expats in Belgium, a regular light-hearted feature on fundamental changes in the world, arts and culture, events and more.

Sales Guide 2019 English Version © M
EN Sales Guide 2019 English version © M. Vanhulst The visit.brussels online sales guide is accessible to all, but is first and foremost aimed at professionals from the travel industry, namely tour operators, travel agents, coach companies and group organisers. It provides a complete overview of all activities and attractions in our city. These are then divided into specific themes which best represent Brussels, e.g. Art Nouveau, comics, heritage, etc. Each activity or attraction is explained in a file containing valuable information such as rates, contact details, languages in which the activity or attraction is provided, and much more. These files will allow travel professionals to take immediate action, should they wish to suggest an activity or attraction to their clients. The entire purpose of the sales guide is to advertise the tremendous potential of Brussels and boost creativity with travel professionals in order for them to perk up, enhance or change their offer whilst making them and their clients eager to discover and get a better idea of the city. Equally important, the sales guide limits research and hence lightens the workload considerably. In addition, the visit.brussels online sales guide obviously contains information on upcoming events, accommodation providers, coach parking details, visit.brussels contact information and other relevant data. We trust this unique tool will benefit all travel professionals worldwide and encourage them to choose Brussels as their preferred destination. Rest assured that we will keep on

In this part of the urban area, the distribution of forms of developed land did not take place in the form of isotropic rings moving outwards from a central area represented by the Pentagon, but rather according to a second element historically tied to the latter, i.e.

Things to Do with Children in Belgium
THINGS TO DO WITH CHILDREN IN BELGIUM There is certainly no shortage of fun things to do with children in Belgium - the only real problem will be convincing them to leave when the time comes! This is a list of favorite places of ISB families. If you visit somewhere that you think others would enjoy, please send details to [email protected] and we will add it. Similarly if you visit somewhere on this list and find that the prices have increased (rarely would they have decreased!) then please let us know so that we can make the update. INTERNET RESOURCES • www.petitmoutard.be: This website is in French and Flemish, but still very useful. On the home page you can plug in the age(s) of your children, a loca- tion in Belgium (you can search in France and the Netherlands as well), and the type of activity you want to find (indoor/outdoor, and there is a list of possibilities – playground, pool, nature, museum, etc). The computer will then generate a list of possibilities that meet your criteria. If the place has its own website, there will be a link to that (which may be in English). • www.agenda.be : This is a listing by date of cultural activities for kids – concerts, plays, puppet shows, etc. The site is only in French and Flemish. As for the shows -- don’t be put off just because of the French or Flemish, kids generally enjoy the programs even if they don’t understand the language. • www.nocturnes.be: From September to December, every Thursday evening 3 or 4 selected museums in Brussels stay open late, usually until 21:00.
