New research: Eiffel Tower 'most valuable' monument in Europe

Image: The Eiffel Tower is worth EUR434bn to Paris

The Monza and Brianza Chamber of Commerce in Italy has revealed that the Eiffel Tower is Europe's "most valuable" monument - worth EUR434bn (US$544bn, £342bn) to Paris.

In the research, the organisation found the value and brand of the landmark tower was worth one and a half more to the French capital than fashion, panettone and San Siro is to Milan.

The brand "value" of European monuments and attractions was measured using 10 primary parameters - such as the economic value of land; visitor numbers; and a site's reputation.

La Sagrada Familia is worth an estimated EUR90bn (US$113bn, £71bn) to Barcelona, Spain, while the Tower of London is worth EUR70bn (US$88bn, £55bn) to London, UK.

Other landmarks included in the study included Stonehenge, UK, and the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain. Economic appeal such as the numbers of job and accessibility were also considered.

"You can feel God here. When I first saw the site, it felt like heaven on earth. I fell instantly in love with it "

Designing an eco hotel for the Galapagos Islands that allowed the stunning natural surroundings to take centre stage while minimising its impact on the land presented its own unique set of challenges, Ecuadorian architect Humberto Plaza tells Kathryn Hudson

The generator sends a symbolic ring of steam into the sky every time the power plant emits a ton of CO2
"It empowers citizens to change their community with a bottom up approach - Harriet Gridley, Spacehive"

Crowdfunding can empower architects, but knowledge of the challenges is vital, finds Kath Hudson
