The integrative concept bundles the results of the different framework plans and reveals courses of action for a sustainable and coherent spatial development of the City of Luxembourg for the next ten to fifteen years. It aims to create synergies by coordinating different tasks and establishing an overall concept. The challenge consists in managing the economic growth of Luxembourg to guarantee a high quality of the location in the face of increased land use rates. Based on status-quo analysis the concept focuses on seven main functional assets: housing, economy, traffic, green spaces, leisure and tourism as well as Luxembourg as international, national and regional centre. Some of the aims are to develop an integrated masterplan for housing and traffic, to combine different modes of traffic within the city, to establish a cluster concept and a common marketing for the economy and to link the local businesses to the university and the EU institutions. Concerning more soft location factors green spaces should be integrated into a citywide network and contribute to a high living quality. Similarly the occassion of being European Capital of Culture 2007 belongs to the instrument of city development.
