Today’s Roombeek is different from the working-class district of before the fireworks explosion that destroyed much its fabric. Although the structure takes its cue form the old layout, the new Roombeek differs both spatially and socially from the old one. There is now social diversification in the district, with a lot more houses in the upper price bracket, many of them built by owner occupiers. Some of these private clients have built freestanding houses on plots that are only fractionally larger than the footprint of the houses. A row of houses has also been built along the district’s central green zone.
