Strasbourg Cityscape

Strasbourg shows a lot of diverse youthful energy, along with striking architecture and urban revitalization projects. In the photo below, the Music Conservatory is on the right, the Mediatheque is on the left, a large combined shopping mall/cinema with 30 screens/residential complex is in the middle; all with remnant industrial cranes perched like gigantic sculptural birds over the scene. The young ladies above were strolling along the promenade of the water in front of the mixed use development.


The European Parliament and Court of Justice are striking glass new building, contrasting with the Strasbourg Cathedral, below.

Bikes, buses, trams, and creative flowers enliven the cityscape.
