If a city based its planning decisions on the needs of an
international bureaucracy rather than on the traditional needs of
local residents and businesses, how would that city change? How
might it look? In Brussels, Belgium - home to the European Union
since 1957 - such change is taking place. Observing the change,
Alexis G. Papadopoulos explores a new geographical concept, the
Central Executive District. This urban form is significantly
different from the Central Business District, its conventional
counterpart. Drawing on game and rational choice theories, spatial
analysis and land economics, the author analyzes how the landscape
of the city's centre has evolved over the last three decades under
the influence of successive coalitions of local and foreign elites.
He describes how foreign diplomats, international corporate
executives and real-estate developers co-operate with one another
to carry out major urban projects in the face of resistance from
local neighbourhood groups, conservationists and political
factions. This study explores the future of world cities like New
York, London and Paris and applies the notion of co-operative
regimes.
