Abstract
When the geographical and historical context is taken into account, spatial concentration of poverty in Belgium can be expected in three situations: working class areas in the nineteenth-century inner city belts, in industrial regions, and recent social housing estates. The second one is not relevant in the Brussels context.
This chapter is based on the Brussels URBEX report (Guldentops F. et al, 2001) and the interviews, which were conducted by Fred Guldentops and Pascale Mistiaen. Heidi Vandenbroecke and Truus Roesems participated in the collection of other relevant material.
