Urban planning concept
05–10/2010
The urban development concept for Traun Mitte explores strategic responses to the unchecked urban sprawl and focuses on the densification of the existing city into a new, ecological urban landscape.
By superimposing landscape and urban elements, urban strategies are developed that take account of different types of households, life cycles and the differentiated demands of everyday life.
Where are the fields of action for densified settlements with a high degree of urbanity and open space gain?
How can further urban sprawl and land consumption be curbed and private transport reduced?
How can landscape qualities be translated into architecture?
