Right(s) to Brussels's city centre and the urban project: What possibilities exist for future transformations?

In this text, the right to the city is used as a prism to analyse the transformations of Brussels’s city centre, notably in relation to the edestrianization of the central boulevards. Drawing on four case studies that analyse this development plan from different perspectives – the participatory process, the experience of homeless people, the representations and practices on the edges of the gay district, the interactions between public spacesand residential spaces – the aim is to cross-reference their respective contributions with the concept of the right to the city and its specific articulations in this context.
