Urban Development Munich Northeast

Building over the S-Bahn line

The relocation of the S-Bahn to a tunnel location frees up large areas for development, which are also optimally served by the Daglfing, Engelschalking and Johanneskirchen stations. Our design sees the rail line as the central interface between the existing city and the newly opened development areas. As a starting point for the development of urban city structures, the social and cultural infrastructure is provided here.

Redensification

Simultaneously with the expansion of the city to the east, the existing urban body will be relevantly redensified . In this process, the types of settlements found show different potentials for redensification.

The pressure on previously unsettled areas in the landscape is decreasing.

“Lakes”, density and the large-scale form

The areas of single-family homes, which are difficult to redensify due to ownership, are being expanded, especially at their edges, by large-scale forms that provide orientation and by multi-story residential construction. This creates buffer zones between the loosely built-up structure of individual houses and the closed, urban development structure that spatially encompasses them. They appear like lakes in the urban landscape.

Northeast Park

Munich’s large city parks are extended in the northeast by an additional, clearly defined park space. It will be connected to the existing public open spaces via green corridors.
