Quick Reference: "When To Use"

Notes

• Many Brussels neighbourhood committees are Facebook-only (no website). Check Facebook for communes where no website is listed.
• IEB (Inter-Environnement Bruxelles) is the largest umbrella with ~80 member committees — their documentation centre at biblio.ieb.be archives decades of neighbourhood activism.
• The distinction between "comité de quartier" (citizen-led) and "conseil de quartier" (commune-organized participatory body) matters: the former are independent; the latter are official structures.
• Berchem-Sainte-Agathe maintains one of the best-documented lists (PDF, updated April 2025).
