A new residential neighbourhood with around 1,200 apartments will be built on 20 hectares of the Leipzig-Gohlis train barracks and Soviet army engine plant grounds. In urban planning and design, the fundamental question is what opportunities are available for urban living when conditions for the car friendly city lose their validity.
Partners
Designs will be held in collaboration with the following partners:
- The chair of urban planning and design, Beuth-Hochschule Berlin
- Urban and transport planning authorities, Leipzig
- Division of E-Mobility and Car-Sharing, automobile manufacturer BMW
Guest Critics:

Within the framework of the design project, we’ve invited bloggers, scientists and representatives of local initiatives to give lectures in order to bring in their expertise and local knowledge of the design and to build a comprehensive perception of the situation in Leipzig. Their positions will come together in the form of a workshop, which will take place during our three-day excursion to Leipzig.
Excursion and visit to the site on 22.-24. April 2015
