Escaped the urbanization
Industrialization had a major impact on the development of Ghent in the 19th century. While other city districts and suburbs were rapidly being taken over by the advancing urbanization, the area known today as Sint-Baafskouter – Rozebroeken remained unaffected for a long time. Even to this day, it has largely managed to escape the allotment frenzy. Undoubtedly, the water-rich character of the area has to do with this.
For a long time there were allotments in this part of Ghent, although the soil was not entirely suitable for horticulture.
