FOUNDATION
From the erection of the Charleroi Fortress in 1666 to the dismantling of the city’s walls in the 18th century; from the mining and industrial heritage, which gave rise to the landscape of slag heaps so characteristic of Charleroi, to the digging of the Charleroi-Brussels Canal, and through to the current major modernization works, the history of Charleroi has been marked by vast dynamics that reinvent the city's relationship with its soil, its foundation, and its landscape.
The reception areas of Charleroi's Administrative City will gather a large number of public services for its citizens, and as such, they must express the permanence and stability of the City of Charleroi. Indeed, the upheavals that Charleroi has experienced have at times challenged its stability, whether economic, political, or cultural. Therefore, we propose to give new foundations to the City of Charleroi
