Résumé : Wastelands are gaining a new centrality in urban areas, both from a socio-economic and ecological point of view. The scarcity of land available for real estate development makes these soils interesting opportunities, increased by a growing crisis of access to housing and a long-lasting deficit of social housing. However long unnoticed feral ecological dynamics have developed on the ruins and aftermaths of these former industrial areas. This contribution will present two case studies in Brussels, i.e. two re-naturalized wastelands that the public owner, regional authorities, wish to re-urbanize.
