It aims to determine the unifying theme of the IBA, determines targeted areas of action and plan a series of pilot projects.<\/p><p>Researchers of the University\u2019s Faculty of Science Humanities, Education and Social Sciences will work on the spatial-conceptual production. <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwen.uni.lu\/recherche\/fhse\/dgeo\/people\/florian_hertweck\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Florian Hertweck<\/a>, professor of architecture at the University, is one of the principal investigators. He explains the University\u2019s role in the project: \u201cWith its scientific and conceptual know-how, the University of Luxembourg will play an important role in the preparation of the IBA Alzette-Belval. We will work with our partners to ensure that the IBA Alzette-Belval will be a European model for transnational urban-rural development that will break new ground in the planning and implementation of affordable housing, with new forms of land use, citizen participation and project allocation.\u201d<\/p><p>Doroth\u00e9e Habay-L\u00ea, Director of the EGTC Alzette Belval adds: \u201cThe territory of Alzette Belval has been involved in cross-border cooperation for many years. The creation of an EGTC in 2013 was a great opportunity to stabilise cross-border projects and to build the cross-border agglomeration together. The IBA project is a step closer to operational projects of spatial planning, architecture and development, co-constructed between French and Luxembourgers in this European territory.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Thursday, 30 January, the IBA Alzette Belval prefiguration mission was launched at the University of Luxembourg.
