Abstract

Few studies in Europe have analysed the urban growth phenomenon in terms of spatial expansion of built up areas, rather than from the population changes. This paper presents the CHANGE module of Brussels of the MURBANDY Project, which aims to analyse and understand the urban expansion of several European cities. In that context, four land use and transportation network databases from the 1950s to 1997 have been developed. The first results allow to evaluate the past and new trends of the urban sprawl around Brussels. Peu d'études en Europe ont analysé le phénomène de croissance urbaine en termes d'expansion spatiale des zones bâties, mais plutôt par les mouvements de population. Cet article présente le module CHANGE de Bruxelles du Project MURBANDY, qui vise à analyser et comprendre l'extension urbaine de plusieurs villes européennes. Dans ce contexte, quatre bases de donnés d'utilisation du sol et du réseau de transport ont été développées, depuis les années 1950 jusqu'en 1997. Les premiers résultats permettent d'évaluer les tendances passées et présentes de la périurbanisation bruxelloise. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
