Luxembourg is redefining itself: from a steel region to a financial centre, the country now wants to morph onwards and become a research hub. Belval is considered to be one of the largest and most ambitious current urban renewal projects in Europe. On the 120 hectares of grounds that once housed Luxembourg's largest steel foundry, academic research and teaching, work and leisure, industry and commerce and home life and culture are to enter into a thriving mixture.

The abandoned remains of steel industry are very well integrated in this new urban design - see PiP's!
