| This paper will consider the impact of municipal authority on the design and construction of the late nineteenthcentury row house in Belgium. It will focus on one block built in the squares district of Brussels, a bourgeois neighbourhood to the north-east of the capital. It willfollow the process of regulatory control on these buildings, from the submission of documentation and timelines, to communication with building owners and enforcement. How did the building permit shape these houses, and how was it used by the municipality as an instrument of control? Who were the actors responsible for their development and what was their prime motivation for speculation? Situating the topic within a broader European context, this paper moves the discussion of the row house beyond the realm of social, stylistic and formal analyses, to uncover some of the construction processes and actors behind this architecture. |
