Damn that mid rise in your second pic above is flawless. King of the Heezy is right, the US needs to get its arse in gear and build some more stuff like that... Very good quality. Cologne is bangin son

And not to forget, the little "archrival" of Cologne, Düsseldorf,
has a very modern part, too. It´s called Medienhafen and even has some
stuff from Gehry as far as i know.
And the best thing is that in this area live the most laid back germans.
Cologne is perhaps my most favorite German city. I love the feel and ambiance of the city center and really was impressed by the new seaport development. Dusseldorf was also impressive, especially it's historic harbor and shopping district.
Cool. Cologne is usually regarded as one of the uglier big German cities by most Germans. It did suffer a lot of damage during WWII but I still think it's a great place to live. All those other Germans are just jealous.

Great stuff, I really like this project. Any idea if it might get scaled up to be something big like the Docklands in Melbourne? Can anyone think of a "Western Country" that has done a redevelopment of old port land as large as Docklands?
London - they've been building on it for 30 years since it all went derelict in the 1980s, they were once the largest docks in the world back in the day. The area is actually larger than the centre (on the map marked out by the 12 big train termini):
