Another focus is on the redesign of the Westbahn area. In particular, green open spaces should be created here in order to offer visitors a pleasant atmosphere. The site extends over six hectares along Felberstrasse, five hectares of which are designated as a landscape park. These measures are intended to reduce the barrier effect of the railway systems and also take climate protection into account.
The challenges in public spaces
Dealing with conflicts of use in public spaces is a central issue. Building law explains that the concerns of the population should be actively incorporated into the planning.
