  • 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.

It is the key to breaking the vicious cycle of congestion that threatens to bring cities to gridlock. In that cycle, increasing private traffic makes public transport become slower and less reliable, especially because while motorists are free to seek less congested routes, public transport lines cannot simply change their path, and therefore suffer the worst congestion.

  • 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.

  • “Gissing”: Hisgis Analysis for Mapping Urban Transformation and Military Reuse of Suppressed Convents in Brussels, Antwerp and Bruges (1773-1860)
    en 364From guessing to “gissing”: HisGIS analysis for mapping urban transformation and military reuse of suppressed convents in Brussels, Antwerp and Bruges (1773-1860) Reinout Klaarenbeek Thomas Coomans Processing data with GIS The secularisation of all monastic properties at the end of the 18th century 365 caused a remarkable metamorphosis of urban space in Belgium. Large numbers of monastic complexes, material witnesses of a society entrenched by the Catholic religion for centuries, were erased from the townscape and replaced by new urban fabric. This process, however, was gradual and far from complete. Many former monasteries survived to a certain extent, as they were reused by state and urban institutions (e.g. charities, schools, prisons, hospitals, barracks, etc.) as well as private actors (industries and housing). Taking the case of military reuse as an example, this article de- scribes how this transformation process can be mapped using historical GIS. Historical GIS, or HisGIS, is the application of geographic information science Introduction in the field of history. Although this marriage between GIS and history has sometimes been received with scepticism,1 a large and growing number of studies in the field of urban history have shown its value: most importantly, HisGIS is able to map historical sources, thereby adding a hitherto neglected geographical dimension to historical explanations.2 Furthermore, HisGIS makes it possible to use location as a central means of collecting, storing and combining a wide range of historical sources.3 In this contribution, the design and application of HisGIS are described for a problem at the interface of urban history, architectural history, and historical geography: the urban transformation that occurred after the suppression of convents in the late 18th-century Belgian cities.

  • Brussels Sustainable Destination Thematic Kit Green, Airy, Modern, Calming
    brussels sustainable destination thematic kit GREEN, AIRY, MODERN, CALMING. SURPRISING, ENGAGING AND UNCLASSIFIABLE WITH ITS HINTS OF BAROQUE, ART NOUVEAU AND ART DÉCO. COSMOPOLITAN AND CONVIVIAL. UNUSUAL AND FESTIVE. BRUSSELS IS THE IDEAL DESTINATION TO FILL UP ON STRONG EMOTIONS. AND SUSTAINABLE EMOTIONS. I. INTRODUCTION : Did you say ‘sustainable’? These days, who can claim not to know what sustainable development is? «Development that meets the needs of the present wit- hout compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs», according to the most common definition. Gradually, sustainability is becoming embedded in the way we consume, move, think and travel. ... But it is sometimes difficult to steer a course between greenwashing and genuine and sustainable policies. So what exactly is sustainable tourism? How does a sustainable city work? In Brussels, the supply is increasing and improving day by day: hotels that have reduced their carbon footprint, restaurants that offer healthy dishes with authentic flavours. More modern and pleasant ways of experiencing the city by bike, on foot, on skates or Segway rather than stuck between two cars in a traffic jam. And lots of other fine, organic and ethical ingredients, designed to respect the natural, cultural and heritage resources of the places visited. There is a strong political will to make Brussels a pioneering city in sustainable and res- ponsible tourism. A new generation of tourists has emerged: more demanding, better informed before departure and sharing their opinions on blogs and forums. They are more than ever on the lookout for exceptional and sustainable experiences and seeking emotions that match their interests.
