Digital Week. Novelties on the website of the City and discarded computers for sale

This page has been automatically translated from French into English by a translation software. Automatic translations are not as accurate as translations made by professional human translators. Nevertheless these pages can help you understand information published by the City of Brussels.

   

Public and search engine of the website

The homepage of the website of the City www.brussels.be was slightly changed. It emphasizes the possibility of a different entrance by target public. So if you are a newcomer, senior, journalist, or trader, you just have to click in the upper right box of the page.

Also, the internal search engine was improved. This allows the Internet users to find the information more easily among the more than 1.400 pages. The website of the City is managed by GIAL.

Public documents available for all

At the request of the City councillors, the Bulletins of Questions and Answers from 2007 till 2009 were also made available for consultation online.

The reports of the public meetings of the City council (besides minutes) and the Brussels municipal regulations are also accessible on the website of the City. This facilitates a bigger transparency of political acts.

Reduce the digital gap

Other novelty on the occasion of the Digital Week: the relegated computers of the City are henceforth put on sale at an even more advantageous price.

These relegated computers are made available for the Brusselses, thanks to the collaboration of associations like Atelier TIC Tanneurs and CF2m. The computers can be bought there:
