Book Synopsis The Brussels Canal Zone by : Sofie Vermeulen
Book excerpt: The Brussels Canal Zone, one of the most dynamic areas of the de-facto Capital of Europe, is an example of post-industrial reconversion, where private and public actors and civil society negotiate visions on future urban renewal. This study looks at visions expressed in spatial planning documents from 1988 onwards and then focuses on four urban development projects: the renewal of the Tour & Taxis site, the conversion of the Belle-Vue brewery in Molenbeek, the citizens' movement Platform Kanal and the branding project of the Canal Zone.
