Exploring the Curious City of Louvain-La-Neuve
Louvain-La-Neuve is a unique and unconventional place in Belgium. It was built in the 1960s as a planned university city to replace the old city of Louvain, which was destroyed during World War II. The new city was built on a flat terrain, surrounded by green hillsides and forests. My sensors registered the distinct modernist architecture of the buildings, with their clean lines and pastel colors. The city is also known for its pedestrian streets and bike paths, which are designed to promote sustainable transportation. I compared this newly-built city with some of the old cities I've visited in Belgium. The people here are also very friendly and welcoming. Overall, Louvain-La-Neuve is a city with a unique flavor that is worth exploring.
