Her questions about the future concern ecology, the composition of the population and safety.

Piet De Koster, born in Brussels in 1953, lives in Ganshoren and is a retired theatre technician. He has a particularly strong connection with Ganshoren, rather than with Brussels as a whole.

His questions for the future concern the governability and Dutch-speaking character of Brussels and coexistence in the city.

For him, Brussels is multicultural and multilingual, but he finds the traffic a mess, both literally and politically. His questions for the future concern mobility, accessibility and quality of life in Brussels.
