| description | Recent redevelopment schemes targeting station districts can be viewed as key scenes for the design and implementation of the set of norms framing contemporary models of social production of urban spaces. This paper offers a comparison of two large-scale urban restructuring schemes launched about a quarter of a century apart in Brussels, respectively in the North station neighbourhood (since the 1960s) and the South station district (since the decision to build a HST terminal in the late 1980s). This diachronic comparison highlights the permanence of mechanisms of land (re)valorisation and speculation in these state-led urban restructuring schemes: what’s new with the more recent operation is neither about the existence nor about the nature of these mechanisms (land appropriation, land consolidation, land use change, real estate development), but relates to the modalities of their implementation and the role of public authorities. In addition, permanence is also clear with regard to the marginalisation of the interests of residents and users of these working-class neighborhoods. |
