Summary
Strasbourg's Grande-Île and Neustadt, spanning French and German architectural influences, were analyzed for their potential UNESCO World Heritage Site inscription. The study, conducted between 2011 and 2014 under a CIFRE contract with the City of Strasbourg, highlighted the unique urban evolution shaped by historical transitions, including the Alsace-Moselle region's shifting borders. It supported the city's patrimonial policy by providing scientific evidence to strengthen the candidacy, focusing on the continuity between the medieval Grande-Île and the 19th-century Neustadt, designed under German influence. The research involved organizing a dedicated scientific committee and contributing to the finalization of the UNESCO dossier.
