    Brussels, a sustainable city

    Get PDF
    Observations As a reminder: Sustainable defines that which meets the current generations’ needs without jeopardising the possibilities for future generations to meet their own needs (that is to say, without exceeding resource renewal rates). More simply put, that which is capable of continuing is sustainable. A layout inherited from the modernist era The zoning of the city’s territory Brussels has been marked by monofunctionalism over the past few decades. This applies to both its central nei..

    Brussel, duurzame stad

    Vaststellingen Duurzame ontwikkeling is een ontwikkeling waarbij de huidige wereldbevolking in haar behoeften voorziet zonder de komende generaties te beperken om in hun behoeften te voorzien (namelijk zonder het vermogen om de rijkdommen te vernieuwen aan te tasten). Eenvoudiger gesteld: duurzaam is wat kan blijven bestaan… Stedenbouwkunde: een erfenis uit het modernistische tijdperk De indeling van het Brussels grondgebied De laatste decennia werd Brussel gekenmerkt door monofunctionalisme,..

    Brève histoire critique des imaginaires à la base des aménagements des boulevards

    peer reviewedCet article prend pour point de départ une série des schémas réalisés par les bureaux SumProject et Greisch, au travers desquels l’histoire des boulevards du centre est présentée comme le produit de quatre phases : un tissu médiéval autour de la Senne (produit progressivement des origines de la ville jusqu’au 19e siècle) ; un boulevard inspiré du modèle haussmannien (19e) ; une « autoroute urbaine » inspirée du modèle américain (1950-80) ; et, aujourd’hui, un projet d’espaces publics piétons inspirés du modèle scandinave. Partant de ces schémas, l’article vise trois objectifs : (1) approfondir la compréhension des paradigmes qui sous-tendent les trois phases historiques passées, via l’étude de leurs manifestations concrètes dans le tissu bruxellois, à l’échelle du Pentagone et du territoire ; (2) identifier la nature des articulations spatiales qui lient les boulevards aux structures urbaines prémodernes, néo-classiques et modernistes de Bruxelles, ainsi que les enjeux d’actualité qui y sont liés ; (3) et souligner les qualités et limites du schéma pour le nouvel âge des boulevards.11.

    Towards a Metropolitan City Centre for Brussels

    Get PDF
    Between 2015 and 2020, the city centre of Brussels witnessed the creation of its first major pedestrian zone, one of the largest urban projects in recent decades. Has the Brussels city centre finally done away with the car hegemony? Can the city centre be extended to become the centre of the Brussels metropolis where everyone can find his or her own place? This book presents scientific background to the issue and brings together in words and images the research carried out over the past four years by the Brussels Centre Observatory

    Biodiversity of soils and farming innovations for improved resilience of European wheat agrosystems (BIOFAIR)

    Full text link
    BIOFAIR holistically determines soil biodiversity under different farming practices and environmental stressors to anticipate negative impacts of climate change on belowground processes and provide adaptation strategies. The BIOFAIR project comprehensively addresses the diversity of soil organisms, from microbes to mites, and how they link to soil functioning in terms of disease suppression and carbon and nutrient cycling. On the crop site, a specific focus is given to grain quality parameters such as vitamin and mineral nutrient contents essential for many human body functions, and to technological bread making properties such as flour viscosity, to ensure the crops of the future have a high nutritious value and are suitable for food production.2.

    EuReCa ONE—27 Nations, ONE Europe, ONE Registry A prospective one month analysis of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest outcomes in 27 countries in Europe

    AbstractIntroductionThe aim of the EuReCa ONE study was to determine the incidence, process, and outcome for out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) throughout Europe.MethodsThis was an international, prospective, multi-centre one-month study. Patients who suffered an OHCA during October 2014 who were attended and/or treated by an Emergency Medical Service (EMS) were eligible for inclusion in the study. Data were extracted from national, regional or local registries.ResultsData on 10,682 confirmed OHCAs from 248 regions in 27 countries, covering an estimated population of 174 million. In 7146 (66%) cases, CPR was started by a bystander or by the EMS. The incidence of CPR attempts ranged from 19.0 to 104.0 per 100,000 population per year. 1735 had ROSC on arrival at hospital (25.2%), Overall, 662/6414 (10.3%) in all cases with CPR attempted survived for at least 30 days or to hospital discharge.ConclusionThe results of EuReCa ONE highlight that OHCA is still a major public health problem accounting for a substantial number of deaths in Europe.EuReCa ONE very clearly demonstrates marked differences in the processes for data collection and reported outcomes following OHCA all over Europe. Using these data and analyses, different countries, regions, systems, and concepts can benchmark themselves and may learn from each other to further improve survival following one of our major health care events

    Les échelles de convivialité

    L’action territoriale a connu une évolution mouvementée au cours des dernières décennies. Celle qui s’annonce semble prendre corps autour de ce qui est en train de se jouer dans la substitution du paradigme du territoire intelligent à celui du territoire durable. La question de savoir comment ce glissement progressif pourrait reconfigurer ce qui conditionne les formes de convivialité au travers de nouvelles interactions d’échelle sera centrale dans le développement de l’article
