Antwerp
Antwerp; Latin: Amberes [ˈɑm. bɛ. rɛs ˈɑm. bɛ. rɛs], is a city and municipality in Belgium and the capital of the Antwerp province of Flanders. Antwerp's total population is 507,007 (as of 31 December 2011), making it the largest municipality in both Flanders and Belgium in terms of its population. Its total area is 204.51 km (78.96 sq mi), giving a population density of 2,308 inhabitants per km². The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 1,449 km (559 sq mi) with a total of 1,190,769 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008. The inhabitants of Antwerp are locally nicknamed Sinjoren, after the Spanish honorific señor. It refers to the leading Spanish noblemen who ruled the city during the 17th century. Antwerp has long been an important city in the Low Countries both economically and culturally, especially before the Spanish Fury (1576) in the period of the Dutch Revolt. It is located on the right (eastern) bank of the river Scheldt, which is linked to the North Sea by the estuary Westerschelde. The city has one of the largest seaports in Europe. One of the main problems in today's Antwerp is air pollution. Antwerp is among the most polluted cities in Europe in terms of air pollution. The Flemish Ministry of Environment confirmed in 2011 that the Antwerp region was the only region in Flanders that will not fulfill the minimum EU requirements of air quality. Antwerp's north-south motorway corridor and east-west motorway corridor, among the busiest lorry cargo corridors in Europe, lead through the city and go around the city center, making Antwerp's air pollution problem structural.
