Since June 2002, the City of Brussels revitalized the Cultural Centre Cité Culture. The work at the centre is made in narrow collaboration with the associative network established by the tenants.

The Cité Culture proposes cultural activities such as theatre or music shows and cafes with live music. There are also artistic workshops for children. The challenge thus is to have a real participation of all the inhabitants of the city.

History

The name Cité Modèle means 'model city'. It wants to create a piece of ideal city, open within its environment, according to the principles of the International Congresses of Modern Architecture which were very fashionable at the time.

The ambitious objective was to make a big complex of the Cité Modèle. Most of the community facilities were never realized. A first cultural centre was later renamed Cité Culture. Since June 2002, the centre got a new life. Since the Cité Modèle, the 'Foyer de Laeken' abandoned these kind of big projects.
