Abstract :
[en] The aim of the Villux- project is to analyse the urban development of Luxembourg-City.
The appropriate tool to deal with these space-related issues is with the help of a historical atlas. Such a historic town atlas can be defined as a collection of explanatory texts, chronological tables, maps and images, which all trace the history of a city and illustrate its stages of development. The presentation will provide insights into the concept of the project and also present first results.
