Land use data reveals how we shape and are shaped by our environment. It enables informed decision making and allows for effective resource management by providing insights into how land is utilized and changes over time.

At space4environment, we are producing an integrated land use database for Luxembourg, covering the years 2007 to 2021. For this project, which is being carried out on behalf of the Ministère du Logement et de l'Aménagement du territoire and the Ministère de l'Environnement, du Climat et de la Biodiversité, we are leveraging advanced data extraction methods, higher resolution imagery for improved element recognition and various ancillary spatial datasets.

It will enhance land use inventories carried out in the past, such as the Land Use 2021 and others produced by space4environment, and increase the comparability and consistency of Luxembourg's land use maps.

The improved land use database will ensure that policymakers, planners and stakeholders have more accurate and detailed information they need.
