Abstract

This territorial masters thesis explores the urban morphology of business parks, especially on the territory of the City of Luxembourg. The methodology is based mainly on an historical analysis of the Luxembourgish industry and its developing economic zones in the capital. The aim was to understand the mechanics of how the country’s economy can change sometimes more radically and how the city develops with it. Furthermore, this thesis uses fiction as a method to envision impossible or improbable scenarios for its project exploration. The project direction finally focuses on the public space in the business park of Cloche d’Or, which was chosen as a case study.
