SAUL / SAUL Plus in Luxembourg
The South Luxembourg Regional Planning Strategy and partnership
building. In Luxembourg, a long term strategic goal for spatial
planning is to establish a more balanced and decentralised spatial
framework between the city
of Luxembourg, a financial centre of international importance
and location of European institutions, and the South region, shaped
by the rise and decline of the steel industry. In response to this
challenge, the syndicate PROSUD
was formed between 12 local authorities to seek new co-operative
ways of planning. SAUL has enabled the Ministry to set up the partnership
building process, bringing together formal and informal stakeholders,
to promote the urban landscape as a major asset of future regional
development. Based on a strategy of awareness-raising, a process
of exploration, mapping, reflection and publication of results has
illustrated how people’s perceptions of their environment
can change and evolve through fresh perspectives, creating a more
positive attitude to urban landscapes.

Current Project - SAUL 2 EXT
Based on the existing SAUL work, SAUL 2 EXT will work to extend and strengthen the stakeholder group. SAUL examples from all partners will be evaluated for their potential to contribute to sustainable regional development in the case of Luxembourg, and a joint action programme put forward. SAUL 2 EXT will then provide practical advice on the implementation phase, aimed at improving the attractiveness of the region.
