COA 52. ‘BANKING’ LAND by Sarolta Szatmári

Sarolta Szatmári explores how land in Luxembourg has become a mechanism for storing financial value through practices of speculation, delay, and land banking. The lecture investigates how time itself becomes a tool of power within urban development, revealing how vacant land, ecological compensation, and deferred construction shape both landscapes and social realities. As a contribution to The Esch Clinics, the project also proposes collective and participatory ways of making these opaque processes visible and publicly understandable.seeks to make these often invisible systems publicly legible while questioning how collective forms of civic knowledge and agency can emerge around the politics of land.

Monday May 18 | 18:30 – 20:00 | COA space, 24 rue du Brill in Esch.
