They pedestrianised a lot of the center. It used to have a four lane road traversing the center.

No people drive around Brussels rather than through it.

They have also made it harder to drive around in general with more one way streets. making more people opt for large electric bikes.

A lot of the damage was done in the 60s to make the city car friendly. some of these measures have been undone. it's a massive change in the last 15 years.
