A MOBILITY HUB AS A LIVING ORGANISM
● A new mobility concept for Oberbillwerder: in Hamburg’s second-largest urban development project, «Oberbillwerder,» some 118 hectares of land will be used for 6,500 apartments for around 15,000 residents and up to 5,000 jobs will be created. The central element of the urban development concept are the mobility hubs, which will create urbanity as an essential component of the neighborhood centers.
Several Mobility Hubs distributed throughout the district will accommodate Oberbillwerder’s stationary motor vehicle traffic, thereby releasing a potential of public space with high qualities and areas for further mobility offers. The MH promotes the use of inter and multimodal means of transport, the change in transportation is actively promoted, its acceptance is strengthened by an offer of community use facilities and thus public life in the district is enriched. In the consequence of the application of the concept for a whole district, there is no built model for this task, which goes far beyond traffic planning issues.
● A new typology for a living organism: the Mobility Hubs 6 and 7 are designed as part of a network of habitats in a new hybrid ecosystem for Oberbillwerder. These MH become a new typology with a high power of climate adaptation and biodiversity generator, an infrastructure of the post-carbon era capable of mutating and adapting over time to uncertain scenarios that integrate production, logistics and mobility at the heart of the neighbourhoods, creating proximity environments where living and working is possible.
