Abstract

This article examines the evolution of the spatial setting-up of the Euro-African secondhand cars exportation business in Brussels. This transnational business activity is operated by people with immigrant background and exclusively oriented toward other groups of migrants. The chosen gateway is that of conflicts linked to the urban planning of this neighbourhood. After a first period of relative indifference, urban planers’ reaction moved to a frontal approach seeking the departure of secondhand cars. Tensions around this neighbourhood are even stronger today as a process of gentrification is causing the appearance of a new population profile in this city’s area.
