"HafenCity
HafenCity Hamburg is the most ambitious inner-city development in Europe: Modern architecture meets the city's historical UNESCO sites.
The Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, the futuristic Unilever-Haus, the massive cruise ships at the piers ─ there is plenty to see and do by the Elbe river.
In 2000, after four years of intensive planning, the Hamburg Senate went ahead with the project and the foundations were laid for HafenCity Hamburg. Construction on Hamburg’s newest precinct are scheduled to be finished in 2025. By then, inner-city Hamburg will have been extended by 40%. On 1,570,000 square metres by the Elbe, 6,000 apartments for approximately 14,000 residents are being built. In addition, the quarter will create up to 45,000 workplaces.
Today, the single-most prominent site in HafenCity Hamburg is also the city's new landmark: Built on the foundations of an old storehouse, the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg has come to define the city's skyline.
HafenCity Hamburg's modern architecture contrasts greatly with that of the nearby Speicherstadt, a historic warehouse district. Along with the Kontorhausviertel (lit. 'trading house district') and Chilehaus (lit. 'Chile house'), it has been included on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and is an absolute must-see on every journey to Hamburg.
Many other architectural eye-catchers reward a visit to HafenCity Hamburg, such as the new Spiegel Publishing House and Unilever House with its futuristic facades. And since April 2014, HafenCity Hamburg University has been offering Bachelor and Master degrees in architecture and urban development." - ttps://www.hamburg.com/residents/neighbourhoods/11751242/hafencity/
"Europe’s largest inner-city urban development project as a blueprint for the new European city on the waterfront
In developing a new urban area on the Elbe, Hamburg is setting new standards in Europe and beyond as an ambitious integrated urban development, answering both local needs and global requirements. On an area of 157 ha, a lively city with a maritime feel is taking shape, combining workplace and residential uses, education, culture and leisure, tourism and retailing – in a way that is quite unlike downtowns dominated by offices and shops. And yet many aspects set HafenCity apart from many other major international urban waterside development projects. Apart from the area’s very central location and the high and growing expectations of quality, these include itsurbanity concept, its greatly increasing ecological sustainability and an intensive social mix underpinned by high-quality public spaces and economic sustainability elements.
The intensive interaction between land and water is also unique, for despite the risk of occasional flooding, HafenCity is neither surrounded by dikes, nor cut off from the water. Instead, with the exception of the quays and promenades, the whole area is being raised to between 8 and 9 m above sea level. The concept of building on artificial compacted mounds (warfts) lends an area once dominated by port and industrial uses a new, characteristic topography, retaining access to the water and the typical port atmosphere, while guaranteeing protection from floods.
