Description by the author

Deze doe-het-zelf-wandeling van Brukselbinnenstebuiten neemt je mee naar de Leopoldswijk en naar de vallei van de Maalbeek. Dit was ooit de buurt waar de rijkeren gingen wonen om het ongezonde stadscentrum te ontvluchten. Later werd het een kantoorbuurt waar de Belgische overheid haar oog op liet vallen om de Europese instellingen te huisvesten. De inplanting zorgde voor scheuren in het stedelijk weefsel, die pas de laatste jaren worden hersteld.

In 2021 bestaat Brukselbinnenstebuiten 50 jaar. In die periode verzamelden de gidsen van Bruksel duizenden beelden van Brussel: foto’s, dia’s, oude kaarten en wijkplannen.
Deze unieke collectie brengt de veranderende stad in beeld, toont verdwenen erfgoed en de impact van stedenbouwkundige beslissingen op de stad en haar bewoners. Enkele illustraties bij deze wandeling komen uit de Brukselbeeldenbank.
