The Brussels Periphery ((オランダ語:Brusselse Rand), i.e. the "Brussels Rim", or ''Vlaamse Rand'', i.e. the "Flemish Rim", or just ''De Rand'', "the Rim"; (フランス語:périphérie bruxelloise)) refers to the 19 municipalities of the Flemish Region which are located around the Brussels-Capital Region. Due to their proximity to Brussels, these municipalities have been urbanised and the housing prices are high. As a consequence, a lot of well-paid people working in e.g. EU institutions reside here. Another issue, very sensitive in Belgian politics, is the frenchification of this area. These municipalities are legally unilingually Dutch, although 6 municipalities have language facilities for French-speakers, namely Drogenbos, Kraainem, Linkebeek, Sint-Genesius-Rode, Wemmel and Wezembeek-Oppem. Other municipalities include Asse, Beersel, Dilbeek, Grimbergen, Hoeilaart, Machelen, Meise, Merchtem, Overijse, Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, Tervuren, Vilvoorde and Zaventem. Each year, De Gordel ("the belt"), a family walking and cycling event, is organised in this area as a symbolic affirmation that the municipalities involved are part of Flanders. == See also == * Municipalities with language facilities * Frenchification of Brussels * Arrondissement of Brussels-Periphery 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brussels Periphery」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
