It is found that as the prosperity of a neighbourhood increases, so does its representation. Neighbourhoods in difficulty therefore suffer from a double form of deprivation as not only do they accumulate a number of urban problems, but they are also underrepresented within municipal bodies. There are also significant differences between the political ideologies that can be linked to their position within the political spectrum. A comparison with the previous legislature indicates a stable picture. However, the increasing number of municipal councillors of non-European origin is leading to better representation of neighbourhoods that accumulate the most problems, even though they are still underrepresented. The same observations are made for the Brussels Parliament, albeit that the representation of prosperous neighbourhoods is even higher there. In deze bijdrage wordt nagegaan in welke mate bepaalde buurttypes onder- of oververtegenwoordigd worden in de Brusselse gemeenteraden. Daaruit blijkt dat, naarmate de welstand van een buurt toeneemt, ze ook beter vertegenwoordigd wordt. Buurten in moeilijkheden ondervinden dus een dubbele achterstelling: niet alleen cumuleren zij heel wat stedelijke problemen, zij worden bovendien ondervertegenwoordigd in de gemeentelijke organen. Er zijn echter grote verschillen tussen de politieke strekkingen, die verbonden kunnen worden met hun plaats in het politieke spectrum. Een vergelijking met de vorige legislatuur wijst op een stabiel beeld. Het stijgend aantal gemeenteraadsleden van niet-Europese origine zorgt wel voor een wat betere vertegenwoordiging van buurten die de meeste problemen cumuleren, hoewel ze ondervertegenwoordigd blijven. Dezelfde observaties gelden voor het Brussels parlement, zij het dat de vertegenwoordiging van welgestelde buurten er nog sterker is. Dans cet article, on examine dans quelle mesure certains types de quartiers présentent un déficit ou un excédent de représentation dans les conseils communaux bruxellois. Il ressort de cette étude qu’un quartier est d’autant mieux représenté que son niveau de prospérité est élevé. Les quartiers en difficulté souffrent donc d’une double marginalisation : ils sont confrontés à plusieurs problèmes urbains et ils sont sous-représentés dans les organes de la commune. Il existe cependant, entre les familles politiques, de grandes différences, qui peuvent être reliées à leur position dans le spectre politique. Cette image est stable, comme le montre la comparaison de la situation actuelle avec celle de la législature précédente. L’augmentation du nombre de conseillers communaux d’origine non-européenne améliore quelque peu la représentation des quartiers qui connaissent le plus de problèmes, bien que ceux-ci restent sous-représentés. Les mêmes constatations s’appliquent au parlement bruxellois, où la représentation des quartiers aisés est toutefois plus prononcée.
