The majors drawbaks of Stuttgart 21 are the disproportionate cost and the local green spaces that the construction process will entail.
Opinions of Stuttgart's population?
Next to the political turn of this projet, we have interviewed a lots of persons and saw that most of the people that we have meet tell us that they find the project stupid, very expensive and that there will be a lot of competition between the news shops and the old shops. In Stuttgart most of the population is against this projet beacause of it price and it ecological footprint.

This was an interesting experience to interact with people from a different place, we can talk easily with the help of English wich is commonly practiced by almost all young people with education, Then a lot of people that we met have responded to our question but some people was busy by their job .
