The city of Karlsruhe wants to establish a new residential and commercial neighbourhood on the site of the General Kammhuber barracks. The aim is to develop an attractive neighbourhood that does not destroy nature but generates added value for people and the environment. The aim is to combine urban planning, ecology and landscape design and to create a future-oriented neighbourhood with special qualities. We looked at issues such as the appropriate density of development, sustainable access, rainwater management, biodiversity, social interaction and climate adaptation in order to come up with innovative, future-proof solutions.

The challenges of the present require new concepts of how we live, how we want to live. The city of the future will no longer be defined by buildings alone, but by the creation of sustainable living spaces. The housing estate of tomorrow must generate ecological added value, open up social meeting spaces, cushion the impact of climate change and integrate sustainable mobility options. 

The task of the interdisciplinary master’s project was to design a pilot project for sustainable urban development for Ebertplatz and its urban environment and to consider the transformation of an existing urban structure in terms of sustainability.
