The planning of the project is based on an extensive exchange of land. The allotment gardens to the east of the canal will be integrated into the existing allotment garden site, so that the replacement will take place in a close temporal and spatial context. On the Aschberg site, the district and Bäderland Hamburg will work with the local clubs to realise a wide range of new sports and exercise facilities. Public green spaces will be created on both sides of the canal and existing ones will be significantly upgraded.

A district with the focus on open spaces in which people like to meet and spend time. A district linked to the surrounding city, open for developments in mobility and continuing digitalisation. Embedded in a robust, simple urban environment, which uses good materials and simple technology to cultivate a durable setting for urban life.
The street represents a meeting place and space for living and communication. Here, the residents can design parts of the area themselves. They are invited to get together to create a feeling of responsibility towards the environment and involvement in society. Familiarity with their own surroundings and atmosphere: the street as a living room, as a transition between the town and their own home, as a vibrant location of collaborative togetherness.
Free space as the key to simple urban development. A sensitive balance between public and private characterises the district and how it is divided into semi-public gardens with lawns as buffer zones, paths and an opening to the park, which contains freely usable areas for games and sunbathing, and traffic-free lanes that create connections. The near-natural park provides a link to the water, almost unique to the area. A path along the newly accessible bank has steps and canal terraces leading down to the water.
Planning refers on a large scale to qualities of traditional Hamburg housing and reacts on a small scale to building in Hamm. The surrounding heterogeneous construction offers a chance to expand from housing to district levels. Shops, a neighbourhood café, nurseries, the public park at the water’s edge and the sport and leisure areas make a hospitable, durable and stable living area out of the mixed district.
