The Pope’s second day in Belgium was a busy one
The first item on his official schedule was a meeting with clergy and pastoral workers in Koekelberg's Basilica of the Sacred Heart – but before that even got started
and the second with a group of homeless people in the Church of Saint Giles
he held a public dialogue with students at the Catholic University of Louvain
met privately with Belgium’s Jesuit community
paid a surprise visit to the 6,000 young people gathered at the Brussels Expo in preparation for the papal Mass the following morning
Two moments in particular stood out to me from this fairly hectic day
One of these came during the Louvain visit, when a letter written by students, junior researchers and professors was read aloud to the Pope. A thoughtful, well-written document, it takes inspiration from Pope Francis’ landmark encyclical Laudato Si'
offering a reflection on subjects from the role of women in the Church to the value of non-Christian religious practices.
The other moment that struck me was the Pope’s stop in the beautiful neo-gothic Church of Saint Giles
which provides breakfast to a number of homeless people every morning
The Pope gifted the parish a statue of St Lawrence
when asked to display the Church’s treasures
chose to present the poorest members of the Christian community.

As part of the Avenue du Roi Urban Renewal Contract, Brussels Mobility is piloting the Avenue du Parc redevelopment project in partnership with the municipalities of Saint-Gilles and Forest, the STIB, Brussels Environment and Vivaqua.
The project covers the whole of the Avenue du Parc between the Place Rochefort, bordering the Parc de Forest, the municipality's green lung, and the Barrière de Saint-Gilles, an urban traffic junction.
The Barrière de Saint-Gilles has been experiencing a number of traffic and road safety problems for several years. Situated with the Avenue du Parc at the centre of the same traffic calming grid according to the Regional Mobility Plan, it seemed logical not to separate the Barrière from the Avenue in order to give the project an overall coherence.
The main aims of the project are toimprove the quality of the public space, incorporate efficient rainwater management systems and improve road safety for all users.
Avenue du Parc will be restructured to accommodate two new lines oftrees alongside the pavements. These will reinforce the character of the landscaped axis and the link with Forest Park, while at the same time structuring the rain gardens that will be created to buffer rainwater.
Cyclists will be protected on separate cycle paths on the most dangerous stretches (uphill between Rochefort and avenue Clémentine, in the bottleneck approaching la Barrière, downhill approaching Rochefort) and will share the carriageway with cars on the rest of the avenue, which will become a cycle zone, where bicycles have priority and cars are not allowed to overtake them.
Public transport stops will be restructured to ensure maximum accessibility for all.
The ‘residual zones’ that currently occur at the crossroads with the various streets perpendicular to Avenue du Parc will be developed in order to activate them and turn them into pleasant relaxation areas.
The Avenue du Parc ‘bottleneck’ will be changed to a one-way street heading in the direction of La Barrière towards Rue de la Perche (towards Rochefort). This, together with the relocation of the existing bus stops, will allow wider pavements and the cycle path to be laid out.
The Barrière will be completely restructured: no more rails and switches running all around it, they will now cross it in the centre. This will lead to the relocation of the statue of the Water Bearer to its original location. The pavements will be widened and the width of the road reduced so as not to allow two cars to drive abreast, one of the main causes of accidents. The planned improvements will reinforce the roundabout character of the Barrière and clarify the associated priority system.

Despite poor living conditions
the prison of Saint-Gilles in Brussels will remain open in 2025
The plan was to close the second-oldest Belgian prison at the end of this year
but that’s not possible as the new prison of Haren is already full after two years
outgoing justice minister Paul Van Tigchelt declared that the possibility of keeping the Saint-Gilles prison open “is being examined”
it has been clear for some time that the prison – 140 years old – will continue to house inmates next year
The prison authorities now confirmed this to BRUZZ
Overcrowding in Belgian prisons remains a persistent problem
even after the opening of the Haren prison in Brussels
it is already packed: there is room for 1,035 inmates
France and Romania have higher overcrowding rates than Belgium
Although Haren was partly created to replace the outdated cells of the Saint-Gilles prison
the prison is now actually proving crucial for Haren
“The capacity we have in Saint-Gilles is desperately needed to house Brussels prisoners,” spokesperson Kathleen Van De Vijver told BRUZZ
The prison of Saint-Gilles currently holds 496 inmates
a report by the prison's monitoring committee revealed that inmates in Saint-Gilles prison are plagued by scabies and pigeon droppings on window sills are causing diseases

The restaurant was opened by a Palestinian couple — Nour and her husband Bob — only a few months ago
“We opened on March 12 during the war,” Nour tells me
“It’s a cultural project for us to talk about Gaza through the food.”
The menu is a well-thought-out combination of traditional dishes that Nour and Bob
chose after discussions with mothers from Gaza
We started with the Gaza appetizers — a set of dips and sauces accompanied by a Musakhan roll
a wrap with chicken and caramelized onions inside
We also tried the Maqluba — a rice dish with eggplants
tomatoes and chicken — and ended with a Kunafa as dessert
a crispy Arab cake made with phyllo pastry and sweet cheese soaked in sugar syrup
Everything was delicious but our favorite were the appetizers
The vegetarian options on the menu are limited
You’ll feel as if you are dining among friends and family
If you have any doubts or curiosity about the dishes
don’t hesitate to ask: Nour and Bob will be happy to guide you
Prices are reasonable with main plates ranging between €9.50 for the falafel salad and €22.50 for the lamb
Only the Gaza appetizer is more expensive (€28) as it’s designed to be shared among a few people
Drinks are between €2.50 for the bottled soft drinks and €4.50 for home-made fresh juices.
Fun fact: The name of the restaurant was inspired by the olive tree
“It is an icon of our history and culture,” Nour explained.
How to get there: It’s in the heart of Saint Gilles
then hop on the 92 tram and stop at La Campagne.

My own impression of the city was vague (I had only passed through on a school trip)
Ask me to name a well-known city “sight” and I’d be pushed to think of one (beer?)
But what I discovered in my first few months there was not only the ease
and environmental benefits of catching the Eurostar between London and Brussels
but a city whose charm lay deeper than the grit
and tourist trappings of cities like London and Paris
The pace was also far less exhausting: A kind of Scandi-adjacent
laid-back attitude crossed with a touch of French chic
Walking is how I discovered both the distinct Art Nouveau architecture and an array of local neighborhoods
beyond the guidebook spots like the Grand Place and far from the city center’s endless high-end chocolate shops
Neighborhoods that instead capture Brussels’ unique brand of understated elegance

Text description provided by the architects. The project is located in the middle of a remarkable “Natura 2000” natural unit with which it enters in harmony. By a view-point effect, the main hall, light and elegant, offers a panoramic sight of the landscape. From a distance, only the main hall emerges above the salt pans and the waterway named La Vie.
The roof is expressed in three “petals”, floating above ground; the reasoned form of the structure evokes the movement of water, the undulations of a line-manta moving. The abstract character of this roof in levitation above landscape is allowed by a structure in peripheral lattice, which surrounds the surface of the swimming-pool and supports the roof in an interdependent structural unit.
© Jean-François TremegeTo allow the swimming-pool’s main hall to emerge, like the main project’s image, whole of the cloakrooms and technical premises are contained in a building adjoining the main hall that proceeds of a radically different logic. The cloakrooms are integrated in a concrete building which mineral brutal aspect melts in the landscape.
Ground floor planThe technical premises benefits from the natural topography of the ground to be embedded there. The facade’s lattice filters the light and the sights and create reflections in the landscape. The curved surface of the interior roof treats both the pools’ acoustics and luminous environment. The white metal structure, the clear grounds, the clear cement walls and the wood cladding, harmonizes with the surroundings vegetal universe.
© Jean-François TremegeThe swimming-pool’s main hall, like a timeless shelter, designed in observation of the natural forms, enters in harmony with its environment.
Water slide levelThe building is especially outstanding thanks to its glazed wide spaces, with different heights, allowing to reach up to 11 meters. The roofs’ offsets allows a direct daylight incoming in the middle of the swimming-pool’s main hall. The roof’s overflows takes part in the glazings’ solar protection for a good comfort during summer. Glass lays out a particular treatment in order to bring light while minimizing reverberation and maximizing transparency on the swimming-pool.
© Jean-François Tremege The structure of the main hall is very specific: located above beams, the ceiling is surfaced with 1400 micro-perforated triangles which model the roof’s curves. It is a visible structure with a system of nonapparent fasteners.
© Jean-François TremegeThe metal lattice makes it possible to avoid posts within the pool’s hall. The white structure is voluntarily visible, as a ship’s hull. The row provision of the basins allows to offer to the swimming-pool’s users the best orientations for the sunning, and the nicest views on the site.
