The new city district

Grasbrook

Today the Grasbrook district on the south bank of the River Elbe is still an isolated port area with largely vacated warehouses, some little-used harbor basins and some listed buildings. Yet the development of ideas for a modern European urban center by the water as a sustainable task of transformation is already under way.

The path to the plan

The urban development and open space planning character of the new Hamburg district will be determined by high-quality urban development and open space-related functional planning with national and international participation to lay the foundations for the later development plan.
