This little book is not a guide, but rather a key. It allows the reader to understand the slow transformation of an ancient bourgeois town which many thought had drifted into a deep sleep. Until it became the capital of Europe. In order to be understood, Brussels must be decoded. This is not your ordinary city. Brussels is much more than a city. This book comprises a short travel account followed by interviews with three prominent local thinkers: historian Roel Jacobs, social activist Fatima Zibouh and philosopher Philippe Van Parijs.
