About BRAL

Bral is a non-profit-organisation which stands for Brusselse Raad voor het Leefmilieu (Brussels Environmental Association). It is an independent network of residents' committees and active residents who took interest in the city environment in every meaning of the word, which means as much to the environment itself as to mobility, urban development as urban renewal.
