Hamburg is growing. Germany‘s largest port city is getting ready to have more than 1.9 million residents by 2030. For some time now, the city has been pursuing an ambitious construction program, with a focus on inner city development: the new buildings on the northern banks of the Elbe River, HafenCity, or the initiative "Sprung über die Elbe" (Leap across the Elbe) stand for development strategies on a grand scale. How should Hamburg continue to develop? What will its priorities be in the future? Hamburg’s urban development planning is placing a new emphasis on the city’s outskirts and the urban spaces along its main thoroughfares: postwar modernist housing developments are to be upgraded in order to preserve affordable living space and make modern workplaces possible. The goal is an effective mix of uses and new urban quality of life. This book shows Hamburg in the international discourse of urban development. It presents the most important projects and protagonists from the fields of architecture, urban planning, and landscape design, while allowing users and initiatives to have a voice.

The 7th Hamburg Bauforum put the topic of Magistralen (arterial roads)—the large access routes through, in, and out of the city—on its agenda. International planning teams developed various scenarios for Hamburg’s Magistralen, taking the neighborhoods on either side of them into account. Where is there potential for the development of the inner city? For a better quality of life in public spaces? And what opportunities does rapidly changing mobility offer? Put People First! identifies ways in which these roads can create space for pedestrians and cyclists and truly become the arteries of the city.Featuring large illustrations, the book reports on the unique format of the workshop that took place from 19–24 August 2019, the results devised by the 14 teams, and the open debates that accompanied them.

As a growing metropolis, Hamburg must develop sustainable solutions to urgent issues in urban development. But climate action, the mobility transition, population growth, and affordable housing are challenges that transcend the city’s boundaries. With the Stadt-Umland-Atlas Hamburg (Atlas of Hamburg and environs), the Hamburg Ministry of Urban Development and Housing lays the groundwork for a new vision of Hamburg and the region: extensive data surveys capture patterns and potentials that emerge from the interweaving of the city and its surroundings. Translated into more than 250 maps, the atlas provides a comprehensive overview of the planning and design of future spatial structures in the Hanseatic city and beyond. Examines spatial structures in the city of Hamburg and its immediate vicinity Surveys and analyzes interdependencies between the metropolis and its surroundings Comprehensive data collection, processed into more than 250 maps
