In Brief: Hamburg is cool, Hamburg is trendy. Hamburg is the place to be.

World- wide attention is caught by new projects like the Hafen City with the Elb Philharmonics, the International Construction Fair (IBA) and the International Horticultural Show (IGS) or the title of being the "Green Capital" in 2010
