Walloon Brabant

Walloon Brabant is a province in the Walloon Region of Belgium, located in the southern part of the country. It is one of the five provinces of Wallonia, alongside Hainaut, Liège, Luxembourg, and Namur. The capital of the Walloon Region is Namur. Historically, the area was part of the Duchy of Brabant, which emerged in the 9th century and eventually became part of Belgium. The province is characterized by its central plateaus and is drained by rivers that flow into the Schelde River. While Flanders has seen more growth in service industries, Wallonia, including Walloon Brabant, has faced challenges due to the decline of its traditional steel and coal industries.1234
