More about the book

In 2014, the Brussels Regional Development Agency marked its 40th anniversary by adopting a new name: citydev.brussels. This milestone prompted a reflection on its significant contributions to the Brussels Capital Region since 1974. The agency has facilitated the establishment of numerous enterprises, fostering job creation and economic growth. Additionally, it has helped hundreds of families achieve homeownership under favorable conditions, revitalizing neighborhoods throughout the city. This volume examines the evolution of citydev.brussels's mission and projects, influenced by various transformations—social, economic, demographic, political, environmental, and urban planning—that have shaped the region. A key focus for the future is the development of mixed projects, which integrate diverse functions such as housing, economic activities, public spaces, and commerce into cohesive, large-scale initiatives. This approach aims to enhance the urban landscape and ensure sustainable growth, reflecting the agency's ongoing commitment to the community and its development.
