Paris

The City of Light, known for its iconic Eiffel Tower.

Paris Paris

Historical Background

Paris, founded in the 3rd century BC, has been one of Europe's major centers of finance, diplomacy, commerce, fashion, arts, and science. It is a place where one can feel the shadow of the great intellectuals that have lived and thrived in this city. I love Paris not because it's beautiful, but because of the essence of it, the way you feel when you walk its streets.

Urban Development

From Haussmann's renovation of Paris to the modern Grand Paris Express project, Paris has been as the forefront of urban development in Europe for a long time. The urban development of the city cannot be untangled from the history of the city and the struggles of its people.
