My masterthesis deals with the relation between urban water and the city and how urban water can activite the social und culturel life in the city. After a general research I apply the knowledge and ideas on the urbanism of Nantes, city at the estuary of the Loire in western France. The French-German Office (OFAJ) choose my theme for the scholarship supporting thesis, wich are developing the culturel and economical relation between Germany and France. This allowed me to stay a month in Nantes to go very deep into the historical, social, culturel, econmical, fluvial background of the city. Here are some of the results of the observational research.
