Brüsel by François Schuiten, Benoît Peeters
Mr. Abeels runs a flower shop about to enter modernity: imagine, through the miracle of plastics, flowers that never fade! His novelty is snatched up by the ambitious city planners of an all-new Brusel. No more lack of hygiene! No more dusty old buildings! All is razed and enormous new skyscrapers are erected at blistering speed! Never mind the disruptions and uprootings of people's lives! Abeels falls in love with a renegade woman who fights the extensive redesigns and ends up having to play both sides carefully... This world has been so successful in Europe as to elicit metro stations in Paris and Brussels designed after it!
