  • Une «Flamandisation» De Bruxelles?
    Une «flamandisation» de Bruxelles? Alice Romainville Université Libre de Bruxelles RÉSUMÉ Les médias francophones, en couvrant l'actualité politique bruxelloise et à la faveur des (très médiatisés) «conflits» communautaires, évoquent régulièrement les volontés du pouvoir flamand de (re)conquérir Bruxelles, voire une véritable «flamandisation» de la ville. Cet article tente d'éclairer cette question de manière empirique à l'aide de diffé- rents «indicateurs» de la présence flamande à Bruxelles. L'analyse des migrations entre la Flandre, la Wallonie et Bruxelles ces vingt dernières années montre que la population néerlandophone de Bruxelles n'est pas en augmentation. D'autres éléments doivent donc être trouvés pour expliquer ce sentiment d'une présence flamande accrue. Une étude plus poussée des migrations montre une concentration vers le centre de Bruxelles des migrations depuis la Flandre, et les investissements de la Communauté flamande sont également, dans beaucoup de domaines, concentrés dans le centre-ville. On observe en réalité, à défaut d'une véritable «flamandisation», une augmentation de la visibilité de la communauté flamande, à la fois en tant que groupe de population et en tant qu'institution politique. Le «mythe de la flamandisation» prend essence dans cette visibilité accrue, mais aussi dans les réactions francophones à cette visibilité. L'article analyse, au passage, les différentes formes que prend la présence institutionnelle fla- mande dans l'espace urbain, et en particulier dans le domaine culturel, lequel présente à Bruxelles des enjeux particuliers. MOTS-CLÉS: Bruxelles, Communautés, flamandisation, migrations, visibilité, culture ABSTRACT DOES «FLEMISHISATION» THREATEN BRUSSELS? French-speaking media, when covering Brussels' political events, especially on the occasion of (much mediatised) inter-community conflicts, regularly mention the Flemish authorities' will to (re)conquer Brussels, if not a true «flemishisation» of the city.

They are generally considered to have been invented in France in 1963 (Carrefour in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, close to Paris, 2,500m²). But nearly two years earlier, in 1961, GB had opened three hypermarkets under the name of SuperBazar, in Bruges, Auderghem and Anderlecht, measuring between 3,300 and 9,100m².

  • Europea NEO Brussels BRUSSELS
    Europea NEO Brussels BRUSSELS Working with masterplanners KCAP and architects Jean-Paul Viguier, Gustafson Porter’s work at Europea Neo Brussels (‘Europea’) will create high-quality landscape within a new 68-hectare high-end mixed-use district surrounding the Roi Baudoin stadium. Our landscape design ensures this new district integrates into the surrounding urban fabric of Brussels and is chiefly comprised of the areas around the Mall of Europe, Europea gardens and the Euroville Park, home of the iconic Atomium. The design consists of large public spaces and a series of water features which offer rest areas, promenades and playgrounds for children. Our work on the Atomium Esplanade will create a spectacular space where waterfalls complement large lawns, offering a new perspective on the Atomium and the wider Heysel plateau. Won in international competition in 2012 the development was led by Jean-Paul Viguier Associés (France), with Gustafson Porter as landscape architect. The project has been developed by Unibail-Rodamco SE, BESIX and CFE, and encompasses 500 residential units, a 3.5ha park and 112.000m² dedicated to leisure, restaurants, an art district and the retail precinct “Mall of Europe”, a 72000m2 shopping centre which includes 9000m2 of restaurant and leisure facilities. It is estimated to receive 12-15 million visitors a year and is envisaged as a ‘smart city’ with high standards of environmental design. Full completion is expected at the end of 2021. “Development of the city must be organised to enable it to meet the great demo- graphic, economic and social challenges of the next ten years, and to position itself firmly as a cosmopolitan metropolis and capital of Europe.

    ANNUAL SECURITY REPO RT ANNUAL FIRE SAFETY R EPORT "YOUR RIGHT TO KNOW" http://www.jmu.edu/pubsafety/righttoknow.shtml SAFETY AT JAMES MADISON UNIVERSITY’S SEMESTER IN ANTWERP In Compliance with the federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1998 (formerly the Crime Awareness and Campus Security Act of 1990) October 1, 2011 Annual Security Report Safety on the JMU Antwerp campus, Antwerp Hall/Montpelier Hall, is a natural source of concern for parents, students and employees. Education - the business of James Madison University – can only take place in an environment in which each student employee and visitor feels safe and secure. JMU recognizes this and employs a number of security measures to protect the members of its community. Crime prevention remains a high priority among residents. JMU does its part to help ensure the safety of its students, employees and visitors. The Program Director, the Faculty Member in Residence (FMIR), the Program Assistant (PA), Resident Manager (RM) and the students themselves all share in the responsibility of making the Antwerp campus, specifically our residential hostel, Montpelier Hall, a safe place to study, work and live. Antwerp Population The inner city of Antwerp has approximately half a million inhabitants. About a million people live in greater Antwerp. The Language The province of Antwerp is part of Flanders, and the official language of Flanders is Dutch. Since residents of Flanders speak Dutch with a different accent than residents of the Netherlands, they call their dialect of the Dutch language ―Flemish.‖ The Flemish and the Dutch have no trouble understanding each other.

    UCB S.A. 60 Allée de la Recherche, B-1070 Brussels (Belgium) Press Release Brussels, 3 December 2004 H.R.H. PRINCE PHILIPPE OF BELGIUM VISITS THE UCB SITE IN BRAINE- L’ALLEUD TOGETHER WITH THE WALLOON AUTHORITIES During his visit at the UCB site in Braine-l’Alleud on Friday 3 December 2004, H.R.H. Prince Philippe of Belgium presided over a round-table discussion on the topic of "pharmaceutical research: safeguarding the future”. The participants were: Jean-Claude Van Cauwenberghe, Minister-President of the Walloon Region, Jean-Claude Marcourt, Walloon Minister for the Economy and the Employment, Marie-Dominique Simonet, Walloon Minister for Scientific Research and New Technology, Jean-Louis Vanherweghem, President of the Board of ULB, Marcel Crochet, former Rector of UCL, Kurt Vandenberghe, European Commission, Thierry Appelboom, Professor, rheumatologist at Erasmus Hospital, Jean Stephenne, President and General Manager of GSK Biologicals, Roch Doliveux, Director-General of UCB Pharma, and Georges Jacobs, Chairman of the Executive Committee of UCB. The discussion brought to the fore the conditions needed to guarantee the future of the pharmaceutical industry in Belgium and in particular Wallonia. Wallonia must develop a highly qualified workforce in this sector, which provides considerable added value as a clean, environmentally friendly industry that uses few raw materials and is likely to generate exports. At the round-table discussion, the leaders of industry stressed the need for a climate that promotes a spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation and that meets training requirements so as to attract the sectors of research and production to the Walloon region.
