Project description

The Fahner Höhe also called as Fahnersche Höhe is densely forested area located at the southwest of Thuringian Basin in Germany. The focus area of the project is the district Gierstädt. Location on the northeast part of Fahner- Höhe, Gierstädt is considered as the orchard of Thuringia considering its versatile fruit production. It is considered as the center of fruit production in the Fahner Höhe with processing plants as well.
Our concept aims at a very coherent approach towards the development of Gierstädt. Based on three main pillars - economic development, social development and spatial development, the goal is to make Gierstädt self-reliant and sustainable in all aspects.
Economic Development aims at promoting the local economic activities in the district creating a platform and opportunities for individual farmers and local residents of the area boosting the economy at a local level. On the other hand, Social Development aims at improving the sociability in the neighbourhood by creating more interactive public spaces in the district. Furthermore, Spatial Development aims at improving the infrastructure and mobility in the area creating a much efficient and accessible network.
All the three aspects are co-related to each other in a very holistic manner. Economic-Social Development contribute to empower communities at the local level. Social-Spatial Development promotes the Placemaking concept and Spatial-Economic development aims at creating a public realm in the area.
