Editing Flémalle (section)

==== Urban fabric ====
The center of Flémalle is part of the continuous urban fabric of Liège, extending from [[Herstal]] to the village of Chokier. Almost the entire territory is part of this urban fabric, except for Awirs, Gleixhe, En Cowa, Ramioul, and Gros-Chêne, which are separate. Most of Flémalle's institutions are located in the center, mainly along the Grand'Route. These include the post office (formerly the finance building),<ref>{{Cite web |language=en |first=DH Les |last=Sports+ |title=Flémalle: The police in the old finance building! |url=https://www.dhnet.be/regions/liege/la-police-dans-l-ancien-batiment-des-finances-5ff34ad3d8ad5844d13ee6a9 |website=DH Les Sports + |date=5 January 2021 |access-date=2021-02-25}}.</ref> the town hall, as well as the main commercial arteries and industrial hubs, while the police station of the zone of Flémalle is located near National Road 677, north of Trixhes.

Before the 1977 merger of Belgian municipalities, the current municipal sections were separate communes, which is why after the merger, institutions like [[library|libraries]] were numerous and spread across the territory. Today, everything has been centralized (two libraries, including a main one<ref group="SC" name=":2">{{Cite web |title=Bibliothèques |url=http://www.flemalle.be/pages/index/index/id/125/lang/fr |website=flemalle.be |access-date=2021-02-25}}.</ref>). There are still old buildings that once served as town halls. The Chokier district is easily recognizable by its history and architecture. It is often cited as one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia.<ref>{{Cite web |language=fr |title=Élisez le plus beau village de Wallonie: Chokier parmi les 60 villages sélectionnés!

The [[Cultural Center]] and the main sports and charitable institutions are located south of the Trixhes district.
