The site of the ' center square ' is situated in the very center of the city of Dudelange, between Central Station and City Hall .
The project consists of a densification of downtown Dudelange to deal with degradation of the commercial attractiveness and continued disappearance of existing businesses .
It is therefore a question of developing commercial space here on the ground floor of a larger size , which is lacking in the structure of adjoining buildings downtown . Surfaces proposed here are designed to accommodate shops, businesses , horeca, etc. . , which shall become centers of attraction towards the center and thus participate in the commercial exploitation of the surrounding streets .
A new public square is proposed instead of the current parking, which will be surrounded by buildings with new retail space on the ground floor and shared housing or offices for professionals on the other floors .
An open gallery on two levels is advocated by the new buildings, connecting the new place and the Grand Duchess Charlotte Avenue in order to establish a loop between these two public spaces .
Note also that this project is implemented in the context of the redevelopment of the center of Dudelange to reduce car traffic and more specifically the development of an encounter zone in Av GD Charlotte .
