The green city of tomorrow
“Luxembourg Urban Garden” (LUGA) will run from 7 May to 18 October 2025. The motto of this temporary open-air exhibition is “Making the invisible visible”. It will take place in urban gardens, with landscaped and artistic installations, as well as in agricultural projects and living spaces.
How do we envisage the city of tomorrow? Ideally, it’ll be a mix of urban flair and abundant greenery, combining progress with sustainability and respecting life, whether of every individual or across the entire world. The temporary open-air LUGA exhibition aims to provide food for thought on the subject.
A visitor experience in two locations
The mostly free open-air exhibition will stretch across nearly eleven kilometres in the capital, with a focus on four main sites: Édouard André municipal park, the Alzette valley, the Pétrusse valley and the Kirchberg district. It will also cover a stretch of over five kilometres in Ettelbruck, in the Nordstad region.
Green spaces will be temporarily transformed through landscaping as well as artistic and agricultural installations. Over 1,000 events will be organised during the 162-day exhibition, including conferences, creative, fun and sporty activities, relaxation exercises, gardening sessions, educational walks and much more besides. There will also be a whole host of events to help you recharge your batteries and find inspiration.
The theme of “Making the invisible visible” highlights the Grand Duchy’s green heritage and pays tribute to the key players in agriculture, viticulture, forestry and horticulture. Their work often remains hidden in the shadows and will become visible thanks to LUGA, just like the depths of the urban ecosystem.
An open-air laboratory
LUGA will become an open-air laboratory of ideas, a platform for exchanges and experiments focusing on the “cities of tomorrow”, ecological and environmental topics, and the way in which we want to live (together) in the future. It’s the first exhibition of its kind in Luxembourg. The event itself should be as sustainable and environmentally friendly as possible.
