Wasn't there a stereotype about Belgium having lax building codes? Was that ever true or did that change, Belgium?
I haven't numbers or data, so just from personal point of view: Lax building code as in you can build the weirdest looking building in the middle of a forest, yes. The 60s to 90s were like that.
But the building always had to be up to code: if you wanted electricity, it had to be up to code. If you wanted water, you also needed correct sewage. Transactional, in a way.
The first, buildings whereever, has also changed, gradually, since the 00s. "Betonstop" is the name used, translates to "concrete stop".
