Home ownership Programmes and Gentrification in Brussels

Abstract

Many authors have remarked on the influence of State intervention on the shifts in the spatial allocation of investments in the urban environment. In Brussels, some inner-city neighbourhoods experience gentrification and are, at the same time, the target of an array of middle-class home ownership policies developed by the Brussels-Capital Region. The objectives pursued by these policies are unclear and somewhat questionable. Through an analysis of the socioeconomic profile of the beneficiaries and their geography, this article tries to measure the influence of these interventions on the housing market.info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublishe
