all this water is lovely to look at and it's a key factor in quality of life. and even take a boat across the if you want to get to the office you have it as so i think that's one of really one of the great things. you see that zurich really turns into a mediterranean city the way the city uses its rivers the way use its lakes i can't think of many european cities that have that and then are really using fresh bodies of water in the way that europe does. bahnhof strasser in downtown so it has one of the most upmarket shopping streets in the world. the city is a hub of international finance traditionally one of its main features are banks but zurich is changing the creative scene is flourishing and helping to regenerate

neighborhoods that used to be rundown and seedy. i think of all of the cities that we've looked at in our quality of life rankings has witnessed the most extraordinary transformation if i look back fifteen years ago sixteen years ago zurich was still very buttoned up that's changed now and you see that because whole structures of the city that the reinvention of christ fear try these these neighborhoods which actually start to feel like a slightly more sanitized swiss a fide version of berlin kai sphere is the former red light district these days it's popular with a young crowd and google opened offices here in the summer two thousand people from around the world to now work here. a spate of new hotels restaurants and shops have opened breathing new life into the neighborhood a former pharmacy houses the ultra hip pseudo design stores places like this are
