question: What is the population of this Flemish city in Belgium that is also the birthplace of Frederik Bouttats?
answer: 510,610
context: Title: East Flemish
  Passage: East Flemish (Dutch: "Oost-Vlaams" , French: "flamand oriental" ) is a collective term for the two easternmost subdivisions ("true" East Flemish, also called Core Flemish, and Waaslandic, as well as their transitional and city dialects) of the so-called Flemish dialects, a group of dialects native to the southwest of the Dutch language area, which also includes West Flemish.  Their position between West Flemish and Brabantian has made the East Flemish dialects be grouped also with the latter.  They are mainly spoken in the province of East Flanders and a narrow strip in the southeast of West Flanders in Belgium and eastern Zeelandic Flanders in the Netherlands.  Even though the dialects of the Dender area are often discussed together with the East Flemish dialects because of their location, the latter dialects are actually South Brabantian.

  Title: 2007–11 Belgian political crisis
  Passage: The 2007–2011 Belgian political crisis was a period of tense communal relations and political instability in Belgium rooted in the differing opinions on state reform, and in the continued existence of the controversial electoral district of Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde (BHV).  Parties from the Dutch-speaking Flemish Community are in general strongly in favour for a devolution of powers to the communities and regions, and the splitting of the unconstitutional BHV district, while French-speaking French Community of Belgium is generally in favour of retaining the status quo.  After the 2010 elections, the topics of public debt, deficit cuts and socio-economic reform were added to the debate, with most Flemish parties in favour of finding money by strongly reducing spending, whilst the proposals supported by most French-speaking parties also included a significant raise in taxes.  The crisis came to an end in December 2011 with the inauguration of a new federal government which agreed on partition of the BHV district and on policies aimed at tackling the economic downturn.  The country's continuing linguistic divide played a large part in the crisis.  Several times during the period Belgium was threatened to be split up amid rising Flemish separatism.

  Title: Ypres Cloth Hall
  Passage: The Cloth Hall (Dutch: "Lakenhal "or" Lakenhalle" ) is a large cloth hall, a medieval commercial building, in Ypres, Belgium.  It was one of the largest commercial buildings of the Middle Ages, when it served as the main market and warehouse for the Flemish city's prosperous cloth industry.  The original structure, erected mainly in the 13th century and completed 1304, lay in ruins after artillery fire devastated Ypres in World War I.  Between 1933 and 1967, the hall was meticulously reconstructed to its prewar condition, under the guidance of architects J. Coomans and P. A. Pauwels.  At 125 metres in breadth, with a 70 metres -high belfry tower, the Cloth Hall recalls the importance and wealth of the medieval trade city.  The building now houses the In Flanders Fields Museum.
