Customer challenge

Place du Château is an iconic square of major historical and geographical importance and is a direct reflection of the history of both Strasbourg Cathedral and the other buildings which have been added across the centuries.

The square was turned into a pedestrian zone, which opened it up to new activities and uses throughout the day and year. Each part of the new layout was designed to highlight the monuments and make the square more userfriendly.
