While the Brussels traffic still snarls below on the Avenue Louise, the renovated icon promises energy-efficient luxury and a nostalgic nod to its 1960s origins. brusselstimes.com/brussels-2…

Few would tie Belgium to carmaking. Beer, chocolate, comic strips, Art Nouveau, yes.
But cars?
Yet, Belgians are pretty good it, with a remarkable record as automotive pioneers.

We have three features on august Brussels venues reopening. @goodclimate writes about the Louise Tower, one of the city’s first skyscrapers in the city, a sleek, modernist, 1960s monument that has been stripped and remade for the 21st century.

It was supposed to be Belgium’s El Dorado, but the little-known Caribbean colony in Guatemala would end in destitution, disease, dictatorship and disaster. brusselstimes.com/belgium/12…

Le PS est arrivé 3e à Ixelles, derrière le MR et Ecolo. Mais Romain De Reusme (PS), troisième score après Calomne et Doulkeridis, va tout de même décrocher le mayorat et prendre la tête de la coalition MR-PS-Engagés.

NEWS // Hugely disappointing to learn that C20's application to list Portsmouth Civic Offices has been turned down and a COI issued, paving the way for demolition.
Designed 1969-70 by Lionel Brett, Harry Teggin & David Taylor, and built 1972-76, this was the centrepiece of a bold new civic quarter for the island city. At the time of its completion, the AJ declared that ‘Portsmouth has achieved a space worthy of any city in Europe. It is at last urbane.'
Portsmouth is just latest in a growing list of purpose-built post-war civic complexes to have been condemned in recent years - a significant chapter of our recent history being steadily erased.

🚨UPDATE: We're delighted that 71 Whitney Drive in Stevenage has just been designated Grade II following C20's listing application, saving the house from a consented demolition.
Designed in 1966 by Derrick Shorten as his family home, Shorten was also project architect on the listed Coventry Railway Station (1962).
🚨 C20 is concerned to learn that planning permission has been granted to demolish 17 Whitney Drive in Stevenage, Hertfordshire.
Designed in 1966 by Derrick Shorten as his own family home, Shorten was also project architect on Coventry Railway Station (1962), now Grade II listed.

Stanislas Jasinski designed apartment blocks that still grace Uccle and Ixelles, but his real legacy lies in his far-sighted vision for modern urban dwelling. brusselstimes.com/news/magaz…

The most disgraceful headline for a very long time from a newspaper that specialises in diarrhoea-hot takes.
The resumption of Leveson 2 must surely now be a part of the wider package of measures aimed at defusing the situation.
