Physical
Walloon Brabant occupies part of the undulating, low-lying Central Plateaux and rises to 166 m/545 ft above sea level in the south. It is covered by fertile, well-cultivated loams. The Senne, Dijle, and Gete rivers flow north across the province.
Economic
The main industries include metalworking, electromechanical engineering, and paper production. Agricultural products include wheat, sugar beet, and cattle. Three-quarters of the region, however, is employed in the service sector, a strong economy supported by the growth of advanced technology companies and small- and medium-sized businesses. The Université Catholique de Louvain employs the largest workforce in the region.
The flag is known as the ‘Lone Star’ banner. The red triangle symbolizes the blood shed in the fight for freedom from Spain. The blue stripes stand for Cuba's three provinces. Effective date: 20 May 1902.
