Social Brussels

The garden suburbs of Brussels celebrate their centenary in 2022: an excellent opportunity to immerse yourselves in the long story of the fight for accessible and decent housing in Brussels and to wander across the whole region to explore the huge amount of architectural and town-planning creativity that accompanied and supported the demand for social housing. From nineteenth-century workers’ housing to contemporary social housing via the garden suburbs, which form an unmissable part of the rich and proud Brussels cityscape, ARAU has devised a series of varied itineraries on foot or by bike!
