The built environment significantly influences our daily lives. Factors such as home affordability, the presence of nature in our neighbourhoods, and daily commuting times all shape our well-being.

Luxembourg’s built environment faces a crisis in its structure and core, marked by issues such as long commuting hours, problematic home affordability, and a high environmental footprint of construction.

The April Initiative advocates that solving this crisis necessitates collaboration among multiple disciplines: architects, urbanists, politicians, real estate developers, lawyers, bankers and more. Yet, the much-needed multi-disciplinary approach is often missing. Everyone is in the same room, but few are actually talking to each other.

The mission of the April Initiative is to catalyse this cross-disciplinary dialogue, thereby contributing to enabling innovation within the built environment.
