The spatial structure(s) of the Belgian housing stock

Primary tabs

Vanneste, Dominique [Katholieke Universiteit Leuven] Thomas, Isabelle [UCL] Vanderstraeten, Lieve

This paper presents the spatial structure(s) of the Belgian housing stock and the spatial outcome of socio-economic inequalities at a (sub)regional level and shows the link with the cultural landscape. A selection of housing patterns illustrates the processes that segment the Belgian housing stock today: north–south contrasts, east–west differences, centre–periphery and urban-non-urban dualities.
