- Abstract
- Over the past two decades, housing has once again become a matter of urgent debate in Brussels. Challenges brought about a series of crises and changes that began in the 20th century have required the development and implementation of new strategies. This is the situation that any innovative housing agenda must face as we transition into the 21st century. Recent housing projects have transformed the city of Brussels according to various strategies that respond in diverse ways to the four following axes: addressing demographic changes; creating sustainable buildings; conceiving new forms of collectivity; experimenting with space. Contemporary housing initiatives in Brussels are presented according to eight themes, ranging from those most closely resembling the dominant type to those with more innovative and experimental forms.
