CONT

Municipal legislatures would have to decide how to balance what a majority of neighbors could mandate for their block and what safeguards were necessary to protect the minority. They might also want to experiment with added incentives -- for example, providing reserved on-street parking for residents who give up back-yard garages for the sake of a block garden.

CONT

«Un jardin d’îlot, tout le monde il en a un dernière chez lui» [...] [Le] reportage [...] attire l'attention sur les menaces pesant sur les jardins d’îlot. Face à leur disparition de plus en plus fréquente souvent pour des raisons de rentabilité immobilière, la Région bruxelloise s’est dotée en 1979 d’outils de protection comme le Plan de secteur ou les Commissions de Concertation, appelant donc les habitants à être vigilants et actifs. Outre leur valeur écologique, les jardins d’îlot sont, en effet, au cœur de la structuration urbaine de bien des quartiers bruxellois. Ils offrent un agréable cadre de vie et, parfois, des possibilités inattendues de rencontres, de jeux, de promenades ou repos.

OBS

îlot : Espace urbain, généralement bâti, limité en son périmètre par un réseau de voies de communication.

Record 5 2007-06-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Beverages
  • Brewing and Malting
CONT

Lambic is a very distinctive style of beer brewed only in the Pajottenland region of Belgium (southwest of Brussels). Unlike conventional ales and lagers, which are fermented by carefully cultivated strains of brewer's yeasts, lambic beer is instead produced by spontaneous fermentation: it is exposed to the wild yeasts and bacteria that are said to be native to the Senne valley, in which Brussels lies. It is this unusual process which gives the beer its distinctive flavour: dry, vinous, and cidery, with a slightly sour aftertaste.

DEF

Bière de la vallée de la Senne, fortement alcoolisée et fabriquée avec de l’orge malté et du froment cru, par fermentation spontanée.
