| 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 spaces interesting opportunities, increased by a growing crisis of access to housing. However long unnoticed feral ecological dynamics have developed on the ruins and aftermaths of these former industrial and ferroviary areas. Dwellers have played a key role in the recognition of the value of these soils and landscapes, contesting the planned developments both from ecological perspective (in the broader context of 6th mass extintion and the destruction of habitats and biotopes) and from social point of view (financiarization and aseptisation of urban fabric by private operators with the consent of public owners). 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. |
