Urban renewal area

This dataset corresponds to the urban renewal area (URA). This zone brings together disadvantaged neighborhoods where the public sector increases its investments. This zone was designated by the Brussels-Capital Region with the aim of improving residents’ quality of life and socio-economic integration, and of creating a new dynamic for the development of the local economy. A first zone was defined in 2016. The boundaries were revised in 2019 and 2026, and this new URA has been in effect since September 2026.

Hierarchy level: Dataset

Statement: A study conducted by perspective.brussels in 2026 redefined the 2020 urban renewal area. Its neighborhoods were selected on the basis of socio-economic criteria that reflect the level of deprivation. The three statistical indicators are:

- an unemployment rate higher than the regional average,

- a median income lower than the regional average,

- a population density higher than the regional average.

These indicators are calculated at the level of the statistical sector (the most detailed scale), which makes their updating easier. Perspective.brussels is responsible for updating the URA, in collaboration with the IBSA/BISA, and for producing studies to monitor its evolution.
