My Ghent

The transformation of Ghent has been impressive. From a gloomy industrial stronghold to a modern, liveable city. This metamorphosis can be an example for many medium-sized cities in Europe. Frank Beke, as alderman for Public Works and mayor, initiated this change. His story is the story of Ghent. Ghent is a city of and for people. A city also with magical places, everyday concerns and a sunken past. Who else but Frank Beke can map this Ghent, bring it to life in stories, sing it? His life took place in various places in Ghent and is interwoven with the recent history of the city.
