Vers une représentation politique fidèle des quartiers défavorisés
Cet article traite du lieu de résidence des parlementaires bruxellois et de son évolution au cours des 20 dernières années. La question centrale est la suivante : des quartiers différents de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale connaissent-ils aussi une représentation différente au cours de cette période ? L’analyse montre que les quartiers pauvres situés au centre de la région étaient à peine représentés à la fin des années 1980, mais que cette sous-…
True political representation of disadvantaged neighbourhoods
This article examines where Brussels parliamentary members live, looking at the evolution of this phenomenon over the past 20 years. The central question focuses on whether different neighbourhoods within the Brussels Capital Region also experienced a different pattern of representation throughout this period. The analysis shows that the centrally located poor neighbourhoods had little if any representation at the end of the 1980s, but that this …
L’intérêt pour le quartier
Dans cet article, on examine dans quelle mesure certains types de quartiers présentent un déficit ou un excédent de représentation dans les conseils communaux bruxellois. Il ressort de cette étude qu’un quartier est d’autant mieux représenté que son niveau de prospérité est élevé. Les quartiers en difficulté souffrent donc d’une double marginalisation : ils sont confrontés à plusieurs problèmes urbains et ils sont sous-représentés dans les organe…
Crossing Borders
This contribution discusses the moves between the Brussels municipalities and the Brussels periphery in Flemish Brabant. Even in the most recent period, mainly young families moved to the periphery, leading to an impoverishment of Brussels. This observation is not new, but the socio-economic profile of the movers has rarely been examined. This study does so, confirming the perception of movers having higher incomes than the Brussels average. Inco…
Over de grens
Deze bijdrage behandelt de verhuisbewegingen tussen de Brusselse gemeenten en de rand rond Brussel in Vlaams-Brabant. Ook in de meest recente periode zijn het vooral jonge gezinnen die naar de rand trekken, en dat gaat samen gaat met een verarming van Brussel. Dat is geen nieuwe observatie, maar het socio-economisch profiel van de verhuizers zelf is eigenlijk zelden bestudeerd. Deze studie doet dat wel en bevestigt het beeld dat de verhuizers een…
Au-delà de la frontière
Cet article étudie les mouvements migratoires entre les communes bruxelloises et la partie de la périphérie bruxelloise située dans le Brabant flamand. Même actuellement, ce sont surtout de jeunes familles qui partent vers la périphérie, ce qui entraîne un appauvrissement de Bruxelles. Cette constatation n’est pas nouvelle, mais le profil socio-économique des migrants eux-mêmes a été, en fait, peu étudié. Les auteurs de cet article ont approfondi…
Het belang van de buurt
In deze bijdrage wordt nagegaan in welke mate bepaalde buurttypes onder- of oververtegenwoordigd worden in de Brusselse gemeenteraden. Daaruit blijkt dat, naarmate de welstand van een buurt toeneemt, ze ook beter vertegenwoordigd wordt. Buurten in moeilijkheden ondervinden dus een dubbele achterstelling: niet alleen cumuleren zij heel wat stedelijke problemen, zij worden bovendien ondervertegenwoordigd in de gemeentelijke organen. Er zijn echter …
Op weg naar een representatieve politieke vertegenwoordiging van de achtergestelde buurten
Dit artikel handelt over de woonplaats van de Brusselse parlementsleden, en de evolutie daarvan over de laatste 20 jaar. De centrale vraag luidt of verschillende buurten in het Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest ook een verschillende vertegenwoordiging kennen in deze periode. Uit de analyse blijkt dat de centraal gelegen arme buurten amper vertegenwoordigd werden op het einde van de jaren 1980, maar dat deze ondervertegenwoordiging geleidelijk vermin…
The interest of the neighbourhood
This article examines the extent to which certain types of neighbourhood are underrepresented or overrepresented in the Brussels municipal councils. It is found that as the prosperity of a neighbourhood increases, so does its representation. Neighbourhoods in difficulty therefore suffer from a double form of deprivation as not only do they accumulate a number of urban problems, but they are also underrepresented within municipal bodies. There are…

The Politicisation of Suburbanisation in Belgium
The electoral and political consequences of suburbanisation recently regained interest in the Anglo-Saxon literature, pointing to a growing polarisation between city and suburban fringe. This paper analyses these processes in the Antwerp urban region and shows the development of a similar electoral divide that is supported by the political parties involved. These observations add to the existing evidence that city–suburban polarisation in Belgium…
The Suburbanisation of Political Representation in a Context of Proportional Representation
Research on political representation of population groups is mostly based upon individual characteristics such as class, race and gender. This paper explicitly focuses on place characteristics. In particular, it deals with the changing places of residence of the Belgian members of parliaments in historical perspective, emphasising the suburbanisation of representation in a system of proportional representation. Spatial representation is analysed …
Is there a world beyond the Web of Science? Publication practices outside the heartland of academic geography
Because research on the publication practices of academic geographers has been limited to the quantification of journal articles cited in easily searchable databases such as Thomson Reuters' Web of Science or Elsevier's Scopus, the question remains whether journals that are not indexed by these databases flourish or perish under the increasing pressure to publish in outlets with the highest impact factors. To answer this question, we have compile…
Fear of crime as a political weapon
In this article, we discuss the recent success of extreme right politicians in the Flemish countryside. Because the Vlaams Belang, the dominant extreme right-wing party in Flanders, plays to racist attitudes and everyday fears, we study the interrelations between the rise of the extreme right, racism and a spatialized and racialized culture of fear. Based on a multi-level analysis of spatial variations of racism and a qualitative analysis of focu…
Beyond the Anglo-Saxon Experience
The electoral and political consequences of suburbanization have recently reappeared as a research topic in the Anglo-Saxon academic world. These studies are almost exclusively focused on the Anglo-Saxon countries themselves. This paper aims at broadening the scope of this research and analyses the electoral and political impact of suburbanization in Brussels, the largest Belgian urban region. By means of electoral and survey data, it is shown th…
Revitalizing the City in an Anti-Urban Context
After the 1995 elections, Flanders' first Minister of Urban Policy was appointed. The development of an urban policy during the second half of the 1990s in this region is incontestably linked to the election victories of the extreme right party, Vlaams Blok, in the bigger cities (particularly Antwerp and Gent). After a brief presentation of the geography of local elections, we try to explain this. This involves making the links between long-term …
