The role of temporary use in urban (re)development: examples from Brussels
Brussels Studies, 2013 As the realisation of urban projects is most often preceded by a long planning stage, urban (re)development areas frequently appear to uselessly lie in wait during certain periods of time.

Public transport service and use in Brussels from 1950 to 2017
Brussels Studies, 2018 Based on STIB statistics since 1950, this article analyses the choices made in the area of public transport service. A network based almost exclusively on trams gradually became an underground-tram-bus service, which has once again reached the same ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.A biomimetic multi‐layer hygroscopic membrane redistributes salt toward an air‐accessible nanofiber interface, enabling rapid interfacial deliquescence while a brush‐like hydrogel promotes efficient liquid transport and storage. By decoupling vapor capture from bulk water storage, the membrane achieves fast sorption kinetics and enables rapid‐cycling ...
