• Large area where utilities and waste disposal businesses operate next to the flood control basin
• Sports fields next to the flood control basin, planned by Otto Linne
Green spaces/water bodies
• Green spaces along the sides of the flood control basin and isolated pockets on the bank of the Bille
• In general consisting only of roadside trees
• Allotments in the east
• In the east between Bille and Süderstrasse there is a large conglomeration of public and private
green space, most of it lawns
HafenCity
HafenCity is currently the biggest inner city development project in Europe. The 157-ha-site is being developed
into a new waterfront city district, to be used for a mix of workplaces and homes, retail outlets,
leisure pursuits, gastronomy and culture. Size alone is not all that makes this project unusual. Unlike
similarly dimensioned urban development projects, it occupies a central inner-city location.
HafenCity’s distinguishing features are the high quality of the architecture and open space design plus
a wide variety of relationships with the water.
HafenCity is steadily taking shape and maturing into a distinctive district in Hamburg’s central city. Almost
half of the construction volume underlying the master plan that was adopted in 2000 has either
been completed, is now being built or is guaranteed by deed of sale and an undertaking to build on
the land purchased.
