While we have covered the political turmoil and violent uprisings of the Belgian Congo, this episode shifts focus to the silent architects who built its modern infrastructure. We explore how Victor Bourgeois and other designers shaped Elisabethville and Léopoldville, embedding colonial ideology into concrete and steel. Through the lens of the Avenue du Roi Baudouin and the Société Générale de Belgique, we examine how urban planning was used as a tool of segregation and control. The conversation delves into specific buildings like the Palais de la Nation and the Quartier des Affaires, revealing how these spaces were designed to impress and dominate. We also look at the lives of the évolués who navigated these imposed landscapes, finding moments of resistance and adaptation within the very structures meant to subjugate them. This is a story about the enduring physical legacy of empire, written in brick and glass. #VictorBourgeois #Elisabethville #ColonialArchitecture #SociétéGénérale #Léopoldville #KinshasaHistory #Lubumbashi #AvenueDuRoiBaudouin #QuartierDesAffaires #BelgianCongo #UrbanPlanning #Evolués #PalaisDeLaNation #PostColonialLegacy #CongoFreeState #LeopoldII #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
