I try to analyse this issue by taking a closer look at streetscapes of Brussels, and more precisely - one of its most culturally diverse municipalities - Schaarbeek. Do migrants transfer their vernacular landscapes to their new country of residence? What relevance does it have for them and for the host society? Finally, is the presence of foreign cultural manifestations in the public space a measure of success of the politics of multiculturalism? These are the kind of questions that my research is trying to answer. ER -
