Frankfurt fails at urban development

Almost complete is the controversial Europa Quarter in Frankfurt. At its heart is a boulevard so poorly designed, that locals have started calling it Stalin Avenue and one musician wrote an entire song complaining about it.

Here's the song (in German):
   • ELIAS GOTTSTEIN - Geilste Stadt
