Some of these garden cities were built by tenants’ cooperatives, which led to the formation of very homogenous social complexes, bringing together people from the lower middle classes rather than the most disadvantaged strata.

These developments are taking place in a general context characterised by a strong dualisation and impoverishment of the Brussels population and a glaring lack of social housing.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
