Strategic vision

Grasbrook is next to Veddel.

Veddel also a district of Hamburg.

The city districts are important for theleap across the Elbe.”

In other words: Hamburg wants to expand.

To that end, Hamburg plans to use more space on the other side of the Elbe.

There are two new neighborhoods in Grasbrook.

"Quartier" means: a part of a city.

The neighborhoods are called:

• Moldau Harbor District
• Hafen-Tor District.

There are many apartments in the Moldau Harbor neighborhood.

There are many companies in the Hafen-Tor district.

Open spaces and urban development were planned together.

Examples of open spaces include:

• Parks
• Green spaces.

The open spaces form the basic framework of this part of the city.

In other words, open spaces are very important to this part of the city.

There are many parks and green spaces in the neighborhoods.

The Elbe River and the harbor basins are being transformed into experiential spaces.

In other words: There's plenty to do there.

Nature in the city becomes a living space for:

• • People
  • Animals
  • Plants.

There are various apartments and workplaces.

And there are many accessible options.

That's why Grasbrook is of interest to many people.

For example:

• young and old people
• People with a lot of money and those with less.

People should be able to live here.

And they should be able to work here.

They should also be able to meet.

There are very few cars in the Grasbrook neighborhood.

You can get anywhere there in 10 minutes.

For example:

• Schools
• Stores
• Sports Fields
• Playgrounds
• Medical Practices
• Cafés.

You can walk there.

Or you can ride a bike.

There are also other local transportation options.

Mobility is another word for: movement.

There is a new subway station in downtown Grasbrook.

That's why it's also easy to travel to other parts of the city.

Grasbrook needs to be well planned.

These topics are important:

• Flood Protection
• Energy
• Water
• new buildings

For example:

• Rainwater should be stored.
• Rainwater should be used to water plants.
• Energy is to be generated at Grasbrook.
• Flood protection is being incorporated into the planning.
  In other words: There should be no damage caused by flooding.

Grasbrook used to be a harbor area. Today, parks and green spaces are also planned for the area.
