You don`t have to ascend a skryscraper, as you do in so many other cities, to appreciate the panorama of Paris. From the hills of Montmatre and Belleville and from the Eiffel Tower (...) the flaneur is confronted with an extensive horizontal urban skyline that showcases its historic buildings, seen from high up.

One of the greenest cities in Europe is Copenhagen:
One fourth of the city is made of green spaces. The urban code also innovates by introducing the concept of green roofs in newly built buildings, allowing for rooftop gardens that reduce pollution and make good use of rainwater.

18 million people are part of a pilgrimage of tourist in now-a-days Paris, leaving 17 billion € in the city: With the idea of an ideal city Haussmann started to create a new inner core of Paris Mid 19th century and a new idea of citylife was born.
Shifting 350.000 people chasing them from there original homes to create these Boulevards from Arc de Triomphe to the Champs d`Elysees.
This is still the evidence and motor of tourism and the city as a spot of attraction and incredible human accumulation, but also an evidence of tourism being the origin of curiosity and peaceful conquest of strangers flooding into the city.

Simmel said about the city-dweller: "he has to find protection of his innerlife against the domination of the metropolis". Simultanously "nearness and remoteness" in the city was expressed by the "claustrophic" nearness of city-living and remoteness from anonymous strangers. 1840 Engels wrote in Manchester the very turmoil of the streets was against human nature."
