Bubbling districts in Brussels
The area of Dansaert is like a microscopic village in our « small » Brussels. The “rue Antoine Dansaert” dates from the beginning of the 19th century.
A little bit of history: From the 19th to the 20th century, the west of the Brussels’ pentagony developed industrially: breweries, printers, paper mills, clothes factories.. In the absence of transportation and because of the difficult working conditions, the workers’ families preferred to live near their work. They were all crowded into a courtyard and in unhealthy alleys. But the health movement of the 19th century brought measures of “urban sanitation” due to the fear of epidemics.
Replace these obscure streets of the workers’ quarters by large avenues, bourgeois buildings, townhouses and apartment buildings. The Dansart quarter has therefore become elegant and very rich compared to its beginnings.
Today it is a hyper trendy and dynamic place. It is here where artistic creation is in full swing. Stylists, designers, jewellers, milliners, gather in this area to offer you unique clothes and of superior quality.
The most popular street in the area is « Antoine Dansaert »…but it is not the only one ... (next article)!
