Luxembourg Minister of Sustainable Development and Infrastructure François Bausch in his joint capacity as co-chair of the Nordstad Political Committee and the municipal authorities of the six municipalities of Nordstad yesterday presented the current infrastructure and mobility projects and future prospects in the field of mobility and urban development.
