European Quarter of Brussels is the district of Brussels (Belgium) contains the seats of the major European Union institutions, the Commission, Council and one of the two Parliament seats. With most administrative and legislative activity within this small space, it is the heart of the Union and dubbed its capital, however it has become a governmental ghetto with little symbolism due to poor city planning during its initial development (in the 1960s - previously it was a wealthy residential district).
