Took a Carbon Neutral trip to my favourite French city earlier in February.
Montpellier has always struck me a future facing place, not scared to re-model and re-new itself based on the needs of its citizens.
From the graceful and considered re-work of the central "Place de la Comedie" for the tram system built in 2000, to the traffic free weekends (aided by it's public bike hire system), it's a city I admire for joined up thinking.
On a cold tourist free weekend it was a vibrant hub of commerce, culture and humanity of every sort.
Sadly we missed an exhibition of Eco Friendly Architecture at the town hall, but it did make me dream of one day living in one of Europe's oldest centre's of education.
Radical change can be graceful, ecological and commercially sustainable with brave and effective planning.
