It has proved to be a relevant and still topical tool for analysing the territory. This logbook focuses on this concept and its use as a tool for analysing the territory.
The six chapters of this book explore in turn the different resources actually or potentially mobilised for the renovation and urban development of the Cureghem district in the Brussels-Capital Region (BCR), an area located in the Commune of Anderlecht, between the canal, the Gare du Midi and the Boulevard Poincaré. The analysis is applied to various case studies of this district, and compared with other areas.
The publication explores the value and limitations of local resources as a concept and analytical tool.

Such policies, by focusing on innovative and environmentally friendly activities, may fail to acknowledge that local and inclusive urban manufacturing still play a role in enhancing social inclusion and increasing resilience of urban economies. We question the possibility of attracting advanced manufacturers while preserving traditional productions, promoting an inclusive economy, and coping with spatial and socioeconomic constraints by means of planning and design policies. Our applied research is grounded on both qualitative and quantitative data collected in the production-oriented district of Cureghem in Brussels. By analysing three different planning actions implemented in the district, we can identify a set of arising conflicts concerning the co-habitation of residential and productive functions within urban contexts, due to the substitution of traditional manufacturing activities with unembedded innovative industries, together with the potential exclusion of the low-skilled tier of local workforce from the development processes triggered by these policies. Policy recommendations identify co-creation initiatives, pilot projecting and micro-zoning as suitable takeaways for practice to overcome such weaknesses and drawbacks.
