City Analysis: Strasbourg, France

1.  Strasbourg has a population of approximately 760,000 people.  This puts Strasbourg as a regional city.  This makes Strasbourg the 9th largest city in France.  Some other smaller cities in and around Strasbourg include Eschau, Plobsheim and Mundalsheim.  Another large city near Strasbourg is across the border; Offenburg, Germany.

2.  Strasbourg offers a very large transportation industry.  This includes many warehouses and train depots due to Strasbourg's close proximity with Germany.  In addition, Strasbourg includes several universities including the Université de Strasbourg, the university that I will be attending.  Something that is unavailable in Strasbourg is a large public transportation system.  Larger cities like Paris will have many public transportation option such as trams, but Strasbourg does not have any trams.
