Description
Brussels's main courthouse, the Palace of Justice, has had scaffolding up for 40 years. But renovation works are finally picking up pace, with some of the scaffolding coming down this year. However, the entire facade is not expected to be visible before 2030. "The sleeping beauty is in the process of waking up," says Jean-Pierre Buyle, director of the Poelaert Foundation, adding that "It took the citizens to get involved and lobby." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
