In response to demand for high-quality public spaces that would respect the historic infrastructure, the city authority sought sensitive proposals for public realm improvements and an extension to the pedestrian zone.
Project Delivery
– The first community planning process undertaken in the Schleswig-Holstein region of Germany.
– A neutral platform for dialogue that stimulated over 400 local people to contribute to public realm and vehicular circulation solutions.
– A brief that secured full public support.
– Creation of a set of criteria to evaluate seven key public spaces.
– Consensus on public space character guidelines for their redesign.
– Strategies for design of landscaping and lighting to emphasise differences between historic and modern buildings
– A Community Planning Report that formed an integral component of the brief for an international competition to redesign the public realm
