Brussels Josaphat urban project faces public opposition at consultation

A consultation commission on the Eiffage-AXA project to build 537 homes on the Friche Josaphat in Schaerbeek drew about a hundred attendees, with opposition group Sauvons la friche Josaphat citing thousands of complaint letters. The commission's opinion is expected within a week. This reflects local resistance to urban development in Brussels, though the project's fate remains uncertain.
