How has architecture shaped the making of financial centres—and what can the spaces of finance reveal about technological change, institutional power and trust?
This workshop explores the role of the built environment in the development of finance and financial centres. From bank headquarters and stock exchanges to trading floors, vaults and data centres, financial spaces embody technological and institutional change while communicating trust, power, openness and modernity. We examine how financial institutions have transformed cities, why financial districts emerged where they did, and how digitalisation is reshaping the physical spaces and infrastructure of finance.

Making Financial Centres
Finance, Technology and Innovation from Eurobonds to AI

How do financial centres emerge where none existed before?
Financial centres are not simply the product of geography or market forces. They are built through combinations of technological innovation, entrepreneurship, regulation, political choices, international networks and institutions.
Luxembourg offers a particularly revealing case. Over the twentieth century, a small economy dominated by industry developed into one of the world’s most international financial centres. Eurobonds, cross-border banking, investment funds, securities infrastructure and European integration each contributed to this transformation. Today, digital assets, tokenisation and artificial intelligence raise a similar question: what will determine where the next generation of financial activity takes place?
Bringing together historians, economists, policymakers and financial practitioners, the conference would examine how technology has repeatedly reshaped financial geography — and why certain places have been particularly successful at turning technological and regulatory change into lasting financial ecosystems.
