In urban planning, Brusselization (US variant) or Brusselisation (UK variant) (French: bruxellisation; Dutch: verbrusseling) describes unregulated and often chaotic urban redevelopment with little regard for architectural and cultural heritage, resulting in a fragmented cityscape. It typically involves the destruction or replacement of existing properties, particularly in or near historical urban centers, with modern high-rise buildings.
