In memoriam Jef Van den
Broeck
The
Urban Studies Institute is saddened by the passing of engineer-architect,
urban and spatial planner Jef Van den Broeck, KU Leuven emeritus. Jef
was a member of the USI advisory board. Both a dreamer and a pragmatist, he
has left an unmistakable mark on the practice and theory of Flemish spatial
planning. The UAntwerp empathises with Jef's wife, children and
family.
