This episode explores the architectural legacy of the Belgian colonial period, focusing on how urban planning and building design were used to enforce racial segregation and assert dominance. We examine the city of Elisabethville (now Lubumbashi) and the specific role of architects like Victor Bourgeois in designing spaces that physically separated Europeans from Congolese populations. The conversation delves into the concept of 'urban apartheid' long before it was formally codified in South Africa, looking at how street layouts, housing quality, and public amenities were deliberately unequal. We also discuss the post-independence repurposing of these buildings and what they reveal about the enduring structures of power. Listeners will encounter names such as Victor Bourgeois, the Société Générale de Belgique, and key locations including Avenue du Roi Baudouin and the Quartier des Affaires. This narrative moves beyond the typical political history to look at the built environment as a tool of colonial control. #BelgianColonialism #ArchitecturalHistory #CongoFreeState #Lubumbashi #VictorBourgeois #UrbanPlanning #ColonialArchitecture #RacialSegregation #BelgianHistory #CentralAfrica #Elisabethville #PostColonialStudies #BuiltEnvironment #FexingoHistory #HistoryPodcast #ApartheidPrecedents #SociétéGénérale #Decolonization Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
