Housing block refurbishment in Pforzheim
Among German cities, Pforzheim is renowned for its natural rather than its architectural beauty. After being largely destroyed in the Second World War, the town located on the northern outskirts of the Black Forest was rebuilt, above all, as a car-friendly place. The last years, however, have brought about a noticeable change and the area around the main railway station has gradually been upgraded. Gentrification is now spreading north beyond the railway tracks to an area known for its working-class neighbourhood.
