Metz, a city open to ...

... urban ecology, a policy it has been implementing without respite now for some thirty years, in order to build a city for People to live in,

... its heritage, which it is constantly and tirelessly maintaining and restoring, offering its inhabitants and visitors architectural surroundings of the finest quality which also represent a voyage through the ages,

... its economic environment, encouraging the setting up of new activities, a source of new jobs for all and particularly the young,

... the New Information and Communication Technologies, which it has made its speciality, developing since 1984 a Technopole entirely dedicated to those technologies, with 200 companies providing some 4,000 jobs.

... a dynamic cultural life, centred on a number of high-calibre institutions, the Arsenal, the Opera-Theatre, the Philharmonie de Lorraine, the Museums of the Cour d'Or covering all the art forms to the satisfaction of audiences from all walks of life,

... Finally, a Metz open to its European destiny, which it is building day after day with its immediate neighbours Luxembourg and Germany.
