Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld

Hamburg, Germany

In Hamburg-Bahrenfeld a future-ready new Science City is emerging. This includes the DESY Research and Technology Centre, facilities for the University of Hamburg, and state-of-the-art buildings set to accommodate other leading scientific institutes.

Additional scientific departments for the University, the Altona Innovation Park, and housing projects will bring further dynamism to the district, which is located within walking distance of Altona Volkspark, the largest park in Hamburg. 

The project team, consisting of ASTOC (urban planning) and WES (landscape architecture), aims to create a comprehensive design and regulatory catalogue for the built environment in the science city. This framework masterplan sets the rules, while promoting quality of life and innovation. 海角视频 complements the team鈥檚 expertise in the areas of climate protection and climate adaption.  

The project aims to develop a framework masterplan for the new Science City of Hamburg Bahrenfeld.

海角视频 is providing climate adaption and climate protection expertise for the project.

Traditional urban planning tools are extended to make the city liveable and future proof.

Our team conducted CO2 benchmarking to indentify the best mitigation measures to protect against climate change. Hazard scoping revealed the most significant climate risk for the area.

Challenge

The challenge lies in designing the science city as a liveable and innovation-promoting location. Traditional urban planning tools are expanded to enable a future-orientated project. 

Solution

Measures for a climate-friendly campus were already outlined in the master planning phase. Based on an analysis of local conditions, the 海角视频 project team identified the relevant areas of action: construction methods, energy, mobility, heat protection, and rainwater management. Key mitigation measures in the area of climate protection, such as the use of ecological materials, regenerative energy supply and the promotion of active mobility, were developed using CO₂ benchmarking. In the area of climate adaption, a hazard scoping was conducted to analyse the risks caused by climate change. For Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, heat and heavy rainfall are the most relevant climate risks.

Value

Measures for climate protection and climate adaption strengthen the campus鈥檚 resilience to the impacts of climate change. Overall, the science city will become a future-orientated, sustainable, and innovative research location that offers a high quality of life and is being developed in a climate-friendly way.
