In many German cities, structural changes in the retail and catering sectors have led to a noticeable downward trend, manifested in a decline in the quality of life, vacant buildings, the rise of cheap chain stores, and other factors. This is also the case here in Alleestraße, the pedestrian zone of Remscheid, a medium-sized town in the Bergisches Land region (Düsseldorf administrative district).

In vielen deutschen Städten macht sich infolge struktureller Wandlungen im Einzelhandel und der Gastronomie eine Abwärtsentwicklung bemerkbar, die sich in abnehmender Aufenthaltsqualität, Gebäudeleerstand, Vormarsch von Billigketten u.a. ausdrückt. So auch hier in der Alleestraße, der Fußgängerzone von Remscheid, einem Mittelzentrum im Bergischen Land (Regierungsbezirk Düsseldorf).

Nature in the middle of the city is always something wonderful. nature in the city is a precious treasure, an incomparable resource to improve the quality of life, give the chance to get out of the urban chaos, breathe, relax, play, admire. Nature is always something that must be respected to the maximum of its possibilities since it is life, our life.

Thème récurent sur Prague, mais y a tellement eu de signe alors que c'était l'hors-saison.
Voilà donc un panda gonflable géant sur la place de la Vieille-Ville, sous les tours gothiques du Týn ! Cette scène presque surréaliste illustre parfaitement le phénomène du surtourisme qui transforme progressivement le centre historique en véritable parc d'attractions. Avec 7,6 millions de visiteurs en 2017 et un ratio de plus de six touristes par habitant, Prague est devenue la cinquième destination touristique d'Europe et visiblement, les autorités ne reculent devant aucune attraction pour maintenir cette dynamique !
C'est cette coexistence presque absurde entre le patrimoine architectural exceptionnel (L'église derrière avec ses tours gothiques asymétriques du XIVe siècle, les beaux pignons des bâtiments au bout de la place) et cette culture du divertissement de masse. Le centre-ville s'est progressivement transformé en fameuse ville-musée où la commercialisation a chassé les commerces traditionnels au profit d'activités dédiées exclusivement aux visiteurs. Et bien évidemment, quand les habitants manifestent contre ce « paysage dystopique » en dénonçant la priorité donnée au profit sur la qualité de vie des résidents, on comprend que ce panda gonflable n'est pas qu'un simple divertissement mais le symbole d'une ville-vitrine qui peine à préserver son authenticité face aux impératifs économiques du tourisme de masse !

Hemma har vi ett rum bara för vila och avkoppling och att få sätta sig där med en god dryck efter en arbetsvecka - det är livskvalitet för mig.
