Recherche sur les tendances et les dynamiques culturelles dans 5 quartiers Bruxellois

How do we approach and develop the city, based on the cultural practices of the people living in Brussels? What do these cultural practices mean? What drives people and what are the thresholds for participation? How does this translate into urban practice?

In October 2019, perspective.brussels launched a study on the cultural and leisure practices of the inhabitants of Brussels. The study focused more specifically on the inhabitants of five central neighborhoods of the Brussels Canal Zone, an area that is currently undergoing numerous socio-economic and spatial changes.

The study is the result of a collaboration between the University of Liège (CEDEM: Centre d'Etudes de l'Ethnicité et des Migrations) and Gent (CUDOS: Cultural Diversity: Opportunities and Socialization). It combines a quantitative study (UGent) and in-depth ethnography (ULiège) in order to provide comprehensive insights into the issues.
