04 HAFENCITY PROJECts Editorial 05 Dvlopmnt Managmnt and HafnCity Hamburg GmbH Major urban dvlopmnt projcts call for strong intraction and coalscnc btwn concption and ralization. Th considrabl intricacy involvd in scuring and closly coordinating public invstmnt (around ER 2.4 billion, of which approx. 1.5 billion is rvnu from th sal of land) with acquisition of privat invstmnt (around ER 8 billion) rsults in vry complx rsponsibilitis and dmands strong managmnt. In 1997 a port and urban dvlopmnt company (GHS) was st up to manag th dvlopmnt of HafnCity sinc 2004 it has bn known as HafnCity Hamburg GmbH. It is rsponsibl for administration of th spcial city and port fund undr public law: sals of land and aras of HafnCity almost compltly ownd by th City of Hamburg financ th lion s shar of public invstmnt, notably roads, bridgs, squars, parks, quays and promnads. In addition to this financing rsponsibility, HafnCity Hamburg GmbH also clars and prpars sits, plans and builds public spacs as wll as infrastructur, acquirs and contracts ral stat dvloprs and largr usrs, and is rsponsibl for communication and markting. HafnCity Hamburg GmbH is a 100 prcnt subsidiary of th Fr and Hansatic City of Hamburg. Hamburg is a municipality and on of th 16 fdral stats of Grmany. Th company is dvloping HafnCity at Hamburg s bhst. Public suprvision, coopration, and th division of rsponsibilitis ar dmanding: th suprvisory board of HafnCity Hamburg GmbH chaird by th First Mayor consists of mmbrs of th city snat (govrnmnt). Sals and options (with an obligation to plan) on land purchass hav to b approvd by th Land Commission; zoning plans ar subjct to consultation and approval from th Commission of rban Dvlopmnt (mad up largly of parliamntary and local govrnmnt rprsntativs) and ar procssd by th HafnCity projct group in th Ministry of rban Dvlopmnt and Environmnt which also issus building prmits. Juris for urban planning and opn spac comptitions and for comptitions for buildings compris rprsntativs of th Ministry of rban Dvlopmnt and Environmnt (chif planning officr), th district council, HafnCity Hamburg GmbH and svral politicians (from Mitt district or th city parliamnt) as wll as privat dvloprs and indpndnt architcts. By concntrating non-official functions in a ddicatd dvlopmnt company of its own, Hamburg can nsur th fficincy and quality of th urban dvlopmnt projct, yt through intnsiv division of labor and control also rtain a high dgr of public accountability. Editorial s th sit of both HafnCity and th A Intrnational Building Exhibition (IBA), Hamburg is th stting for two of Europ s most significant urban dvlopmnt projcts. Both of thm rprsnt facts of a common task for th futur facing many of Europ s citis: how can major citis continu to grow in thir cntr Europan-styl (or xtndd cntr), without abandoning thir traditions, yt dvlop nw qualitis? In 2013 th Intrnational Building Exhibition (IBA) Hamburg is prsnting its projcts to th xprts and a broad public. At th sam tim, HafnCity has positiv intrim rsults to show aftr 12 yars of construction, sinc its wstrn sction is alrady an urban plac with around 2,000 rsidnts and mor than 450 businsss, numrous shops, cafés and rstaurants, as wll as a constantly growing numbr of visitors. HafnCity s potntial for ncountr, th ky to what sts urbanity apart from straightforward commrcial succss, grows by th day. Many visitors ar astonishd at what is alrady succding during this arly dvlopmnt stag: in othr words, that urbanistic quality is not only bing aimd for, it is bing ralizd. And in a plac which lacks th privilg to mix xisting buildings and nw ons, for HafnCity is bing virtually nwly built, although port structurs ar bing prsrvd. An outcom of this kind is only possibl through th collaboration of many diffrnt partis in a continuous procss of ambitious concrtd action. HafnCity has high aspirations for sustainability: to achiv this, a compact urban structur, a forward-looking mobility concpt, highly fficint us of nrgy and grn buildings ar ndd. In th dvlopmnt of nighborhoods to th ast of Magdburgr Hafn, mor than 70 prcnt of th buildings will qualify for th gold Ecolabl. With th dcision to xtnd th 4 subway to Elbbrückn, th whol of HafnCity will hav a vry fficint public transport structur, complmntd by hydrogn-powrd buss. This, in conjunction with multipl dirct, attractiv routs for cyclists and pdstrians, will put in plac a sustainabl structur for mobility. Th yar 2013 will bring many powrful and far-raching impulss. Th four-hctar grn hart of HafnCity, Lohspark, is visibly taking shap, joining th nw Grasbrookpark; construction work on th major bridg across Baaknhafn is compltd in summr and th floodprvntiv infrastructur dvlopmnt of th Baaknhafn and Elbbrückn nighborhoods is progrssing. Th first plots hr hav alrady bn rsrvd for an upmarkt mix of rsidntial and mploymnt uss. Th succssful architctural comptition for th HafnCity Watrhouss, six sustainably built rsidntial towrs which will rdfin living by th watr, is stting nw urban planning bnchmarks. It is xactly this rapid progrss in th concption and ralization of th astrn nighborhoods that highlights th dynamism of HafnCity s dvlopmnt. At th sam tim, a us concpt for cntral Übrsquartir is bing vigorously pursud. Th fundamntal aim is unchangd: to ncourag urbanity in an opn urban structur by harnssing rtail, rsidntial, offic and gastronomy uss to attract larg numbrs of visitors. Big strids in construction and planning trms continu on Strandkai as wll as in Am Lohspark and Elbtorquartir nighborhoods. Th ssnc of Hafn City is alrady bcoming prcptibl in th Elb Arcads on Magdburgr Hafn, whil HafnCity nivrsity, th most significant public plac of highr ducation on th Elb, is gtting down to work in 2013. Infrastructur dvlopmnt, too, is running at top spd, sharpning th focus on rsidntial construction, including its mix of subsidizd housing, joint building vnturs, cooprativ and privatly ownd homs. HafnCity has carvd out its own qualitativ path asid from Jürgn Bruns-Brntlg, Chif Excutiv HafnCity Hamburg GmbH urban dvlopmnt and architctur.

HafnCity consists almost wholly of nw buildings, sinc not many old ons wr rtaind or worth prsrving, as th sit of HafnCity was largly occupid by singl-story shds.

Th starting signal for us of Hafn- City s public cntr was th inauguration of th opn spacs around Magdburgr Hafn in Jun 2011. Th rsult is an nsmbl of promnads and squars through which HafnCity and th xisting city cntr ar growing togthr.

In th sam yar, dvlopmnt also succssfully kickd off in th thr astrn nighborhoods of Baaknhafn, Obrhafn and Elbbrückn. Th first sctions of Lohspark will b finishd in 2013/14. DEVELOPMENT PROCESS HafnCity Hamburg GmbH pulls th strings, ovrsing all activitis as th city s managr of dvlopmnt, proprty ownr and dvlopr of infrastructur (xcpt th subway). Sinc Octobr 1, 2006, HafnCity has had so-calld priority ara status: all zoning plans ar discussd by th Commission for rban Dvlopmnt st up for this purpos, rprsnting all political partis in Hamburg s City Parliamnt. Building prmission is grantd by th rban Dvlopmnt Ministry. Sinc th Baaknhafn aim is to st intrnational standards for concptual and architctural quality, it is vry important to attract invstors and dvloprs willing to cooprat in stting high quality standards and in trading innovativ paths. Tndrs ar invitd for plots schduld for rsidntial us; th comptition rsult is dcisiv. It is not th highst bid that is succssful th crucial factor for awarding th contract is th quality of th us concpts submittd. Sits for offic buildings ar not gnrally procssd this way. Instad, companis Elbbrückn planning to staff 60 to 70 prcnt of a building or sit for thir own purposs can apply to HafnCity Hamburg GmbH. EXCLSIVE OPTIONS ENSRE qality Whatvr th typ of land us, th ncssary ratification by th Land Commission is followd by an xclusiv option priod with an obligation to plan. Th invstor/usr thn has to procd, in conjunction with th City of Hamburg, with an architctural comptition, may commission sit survys, and has to prpar for building approval. Throughout this procss, HafnCity Hamburg GmbH, th authoritis and th buyr rmain in constant dialog. Th advantag of this procss for th dvlopr is that financing of th purchas pric is postpond until aftr th building prmit is grantd; until thn it has adquat tim to hon th quality of its product, scur financ and prhaps acquir additional usrs. At th sam tim th city rtains its ability to nsur th building s quality by intrvning during th dvlopmnt procss which lasts for on and a half yars aftr award of th option, thus nsuring that th originally submittd us concpts and tim schduls will b adhrd to, sinc th purchas cannot go through until th building prmit is rcivd. This ncourags coopration with both city and dvlopr optimizing risks, costs, quality and tim scals. For Hamburg, HafnCity is mor than a major ral stat projct in which th individual undrtakings nd to b ralizd as quickly and fficintly as possibl rathr, within th contxt of a nw dfinition of a city for th 21st cntury, th nd product should b of xmplary urban quality. Th cityscap is influncd by th intnsiv intrplay btwn watr and land
12 HAFENCITY PROJECTs AbOuT HAFENCITY 13 Th Foundation of HafnCity: th Mastrplan For mor than tn yars, Hamburgrs hav bn watching a city tak shap. In th mainly compltd wst, HafnCity is alrady a livly plac; th cntr is undr construction and prparations for th start of building in th astrn sction ar undr way HafnCity is on of th most rmarkabl urban rdvlopmnt schms on a watrfront world wid. Its trndstting concpt will s th ara of Hamburg City Cntr nlargd by 40 prcnt, with th dvlopmnt sparking impulss not only for th xisting city cntr, but also for th municipality with its 1.8 million inhabitants as wll as th surrounding mtropolitan rgion, hom to around 5 million popl. In th procss Hamburg s idntity as a maritim city is bing rinforcd, whil HafnCity simultanously bcoms a modl for th dvlopmnt of th 21st cntury Europan city cntr. It is alrady rgardd as a showcas for major intrnational urban dvlopmnt projcts, though its dvlopmnt timfram xtnds to 2025. NEW CORE INNER CITY CREATED Dvlopmnt of HafnCity is ssntially basd on a Mastrplan approvd by th Hamburg Snat on Fbruary 29, 2000, which was dvlopd furthr for th astrn sction of HafnCity aftr wid-ranging public discussions in 2010. For th prvious tn yars th Mastrplan, with its concpt for an urban horizontal and vrtical mix of uss and its flxibl basic framwork, srvd as a good point of dpartur for dvlopmnt of old port sits south of th city cntr. Howvr it containd no dtaild planning for th thr astrn nighborhoods, Obrhafn, Baaknhafn and Elbbrückn. Also th undrlying circumstancs changd during th past dcad. Initially, astrn HafnCity was rgardd almost as th innr-city fring of Hamburg, yt now partly du to nw sub- way connctions it is vry much sn as part of th nw city cor. Anothr factor is that Hamburg is making its lap across th Elb right now, with ambitious projcts such as th intrnational building xhibition (IBA) and th intrnational gardn show (igs) in 2013 south of HafnCity. Rdfinition of th Mastrplan was ld by HafnCity Hamburg GmbH in conjunction with th Hamburg rban Dvlopmnt and Environmnt Ministry as wll as th principal authors of th original Mastrplan, Ks Christiaans, with ASTOC. In 2010 thr was intnsiv public discussion, with a program of mor than 40 vnts. Th rworkd draft is bing hond in furthr phass (urban dsign comptitions, landscap comptitions and architctural comptitions). With th rworking 2010 of th Mastrplan for astrn HafnCity, th nw district as a whol is taking shap, continuing th succss story of th wstrn nighborhoods right through to th Elbbrückn bridgs EASTERN DISTRICTS get THEIR OWN PROFILES Th thr astrn nighborhoods ar mor xtnsiv but lss intgratd into th xisting city than wstrn and cntral HafnCity. Thir proximity to transport routs also calls for nois protction planning. But this also crats spcial opportunitis to giv th astrn nighborhoods an idntity of thir own. Thir urban dvlopmnt structur is closly rlatd to conditions for thir utilization. Each nighborhood will hav its own focus: Baaknhafn as a plac for living and for lisur, Obrhafn for crativ and cultural uss, and Elbbrückn as a mtropolitan location for businss and housing. Additional land ara will b gaind, for xampl, by partially filling in Baaknhafn harbor basin, which will lad to mor grn landscap and allow a scond lin of rsidntial buildings in a location protctd from nois. In plac of th original targt of around 1.5 million sqm of gross floor ara (GFA) in th whol of HafnCity, incrasd ara and dnsity now man that 2.32 million sqm GFA can b ralizd. Land ara ovrall incrass from 123 to 127 hctars. Rworking of th Mastrplan also mans that th numbr of homs that can b built is much highr. In astrn HafnCity housing can b built in placs prviously not considrd vry suitabl. A total of 2,800 housing units will b cratd in Baaknhafn and Elbbrückn, raising th total numbr of homs in HafnCity from 5,500 to 6,000, with th calculation of avrag unit siz incrasd to 110 sqm GFA. Community building associations will rciv mor considration in sit tndrs and largr quantitis of subsidizd public rntd housing will also b built. Additional primary and scondary schools as wll as child daycar facilitis will also nhanc HafnCity s attractions as a plac for familis to liv. Th numbr of potntial jobs also riss markdly from 40,000 to wll ovr 45,000. Th nw jobs will b primarily in lisur, rtail, catring and hotls. MORE green AND HIgH SSTAINABILITY STANDARDS Th lafy charactr of HafnCity will b intnsifid. Squars, small and larg, and links btwn thm will advanc urban spatial intgration. Lohspark, th Cntral Park of HafnCity, will b xtndd down to th Rivr Elb. In th south, an Elb promnad may ncourag popl to stroll on to Entnwrdr; an ara for lisur is to b cratd in Baaknhafn harbor basin. Th total ara of public spacs in Hafn- City incrass from 24 to 26 hctars (not counting privat aras accssibl to th public); th public watrfront xtnds from 10 to 10.5km. Th high standards of sustainability st in th wstrn nighborhoods will actually b outdon by th ast. This progrss is du to th innovativ hat supply concpt as wll as th plannd high proportion of nw buildings qualifying for th gold HafnCity Ecolabl. Th xtnsion of th 4 subway lin to Elbbrückn station maks anothr important contribution to nvironmntal quality. Eastrn HafnCity has xcllnt road infrastructur. Its accssibility for through-traffic, howvr, will rsult in hightnd xposur to traffic nois in som placs. For such locations, intllignt urban planning and tchnical concpts will thrfor b applid. Along Vrsmannstrass a main traffic artry mixd us buildings, with thir broad backs turnd toward th road, provid nois-protctd aras to th southrn sid. Th smi-nclosd rsidntial nsmbls will form innr courtyards, which will nsur shltrd nighborly coxistnc. Th rworking of th Mastrplan furthr rinforcs HafnCity s function as a city. For th first tim th plan s provisions for th urban dvlopmnt schm now mbrac th ntir ara through to its astrnmost point, laying down highst standards.

Although traffic aras btwn buildings ar also privatly ownd, provisions in purchas contracts and land rgistration documntation guarant that public right of us in Übrsquartir functions in th sam way as for strts and squars.

Intnsiv r-us of old docks and industrial aras is nlarging Hamburg City s ara by 40 prcnt In itslf, th principl bhind th dvlopmnt of HafnCity is an important critrion for sustainability, sinc it is not xpanding Hamburg into agricultural land on its priphry but instad, in som cass, rgnrating disusd innr-city aras of th port. In addition, th dvlopmnt compriss many othr individual aspcts, primarily cological but also conomic and social in natur. Sustainability is bing initiatd at a rang of lvls, for xampl for buildings, supply of nrgy and mobility. This will nabl HafnCity in th mdium and long trm to mak a significant contribution to fulfilling Ham- Sit distribution in HafnCity Watr ara*: 28.1 hctars Pontoons on th watr 1.4 hctars - 5% Land ara*: Traffic ara 26.3 hctars - 24% Built-up ara 33.9 hctars - 31% Public opn spacs 28.1 hctars - 25% (squars, parks, promnads, paths) Privat aras, public accss 13.8 hctars - 13% Privat aras, non public accss 7.8 hctars - 7% *not including Obrhafn Quartr burg s climat goal of a 40 prcnt cut in CO2 missions by 2020 compard with 1990. In fact, through innovativ supply of powr and hat, for xampl, it should b possibl to cut pollution by 50 prcnt. EFFICIENT LAND SE HafnCity is taking shap on 157 hctars of formr port and industrial sits in a cntral location. In contaminatd aras such as th sit of th old gasworks (now southrn Übrsquartir), th soil was rmovd in an laborat procss, considrably nhancing th cological valu of Th proportion of squars, promnads and parks is particularly high in HafnCity. Land us is ffctiv through dns dvlopmnt, construction of buildings on lvatd foundations, and intgratd parking this old industrial ara and also significantly rducing th ara of surfac saling of soil. Intnsiv us is also bing mad of th ground as a rsourc through high building dnsity: floor spac indxs (FSI) rang from 3.7 to 5.6 according to nighborhood, which is in lin with dnsity in othr Europan urban cntrs. In HafnCity, dnsity of uss is corrspondingly high, with 94 rsidnts and 355 local mploys pr hctar (land surfac). Howvr, nw standards ar also bing st in trms of distribution of spac. Road aras tak up only 25 prcnt of land ara (compard with 40 prcnt, including Th first nighborhoods wr built during th past fw yars on what was onc port and industrial land road surrounds, in Hamburg City), whil 37 prcnt is availabl for publicly accssibl opn spacs, including th 3.1km rivrfront on th Elb. Thus HafnCity crats a high dnsity of uss with a high proportion of public spacs and low proportion of ncssary accss roads. ATTRACTIVE DISTANCES HafnCity is also charactrizd by a fingraind horizontal and vrtical mix of a varity of urban uss. Evrything homs, workplacs, cultural and lisur facilitis, commrc is clos by, making for short distancs. Th clos-knit ntwork of non-motorizd routs also maks us of privat spac. Th loos-knit building structur and proximity to larg xpanss of watr hav climat-frindly ffcts. In summr, th rsulting rduction in th socalld hat island ffct in th city cuts dmand for air-conditioning, nhancing comfort at hom and at work. Th watrsid location and thus closnss to th xisting port activitis on th southrn bank of th Elb, as wll as traffic nois in astrn HafnCity, mak spcially high dmands on buildings and infrastructur. Arrangmnt of buildings, orintation of rcption rooms and spcial window-rval linrs all aid nois rduction. Hamburg port planning rgulations also cap missions from port installations still oprating south of th rivr at thir currnt lvl. Anothr important aspct of sustainability is fulfillmnt of long-trm flood protction rquirmnts. This is achivd by constructing buildings on compactd plinths (warfts) 8 to 9m abov sa lvl. Th basmnts insid thm provid floodscur undrground parking for cars. Abov-ground parking slots in buildings ar not allowd. This mans that stationary traffic consums littl public spac (also s p. 60). At th nd of 2012 Hafn- City was intgratd into th city s cntrally controlld parking guidanc systm to cut both traffic sarching for parking spacs and illgal parking. A parking spac managmnt systm is gradually to b introducd throughout. SSTAINABLE MOBILITY But it is asy to rach HafnCity without a car in any cas. A smart traffic concpt and th xcllnt public transport connctions should rduc th shar of individual motorizd transport to 20 to 25 prcnt (Hamburg avrag: 47 prcnt). Th nw 4 subway lin, in srvic sinc th nd of 2012, is a cntral lmnt. At th latst with th opning of th third subway station at Elbbrückn, and th nar-compltion of HafnCity construction, 35,000 popl a day ar xpctd to us th 4. Thr is also a dns ntwork of bus stops. Th first frry pir has bn installd nar th Elbphilharmoni and two mor HafnCity nivrsity and Elbbrückn ar to follow. Car-sharing is also includd in planning. Cyclists and pdstrians can covr th rout btwn th nw city district and xisting city cntr in minuts, using an attractiv and dns rout ntwork and numrous bridgs. Svnty prcnt of foot and cycling paths run sparatd from motorizd traffic on promnads, pirs and squars; 30 prcnt run bsid watr. Bicycl rntal points mak a pollution-fr tour of HafnCity an attractiv possibility. HafnCity is also part of th Hamburg lctromobility modl rgion.

60 HAFENCITY PROJECTs EssENTIAls 61 INFRASTRCTRE Nw Infrastructur Basis of this rban Dvlopmnt Proximity to watr, ground conditions and flood risks prsnt particular challngs HafnCity is charactrizd by infrastructural faturs spcific to th sit: th ara is a low-lying island in th Rivr Elb, indntd by svral harbor basins. Prrquisits for urban us ar thrfor nw intrnal and xtrnal connctions and cross-links as wll as flood protction. On challng is th ast-wst orintation of th historic warhouss in th Spichrstadt, which act lik a barrir btwn HafnCity and th City, as wll as th watrways, which also xtnd ast-wst. Ths factors mant, for instanc, that fficint public transport connctions could only work wll undrground via subway. Furthrmor, th HafnCity sit is situatd outsid Hamburg s dik lin on lowlying land not protctd from flooding at 4 to 5.5m abov sa lvl. Bcaus of its location in th Elb, sparat and costly protction masurs ar rquird: HafnCity hugs th Elb for mor than 3.1km and has a total watrfront, including harbor basins, of ovr 10.5km. In th past, th HafnCity ara was charactrizd by its us as an industrial and port district. Th xtnsion of th modrn port facilitis that bgan in 1862 gav this ara th typical apparanc which largly rmains today, with harbor basins and docks constituting Hafn- City s charactr. In many placs, Am Sandtorkai/Dalmannkai, for instanc, th historic quay structur could b partially consrvd and carfully rstord. Nw quay walls wr built in sctions whr th old substanc was too damagd or prviously did not xist. Sinc th ara s industrial uss lft tracs, highly contaminatd soil on a numbr of sits had to b cland.

This crats a whol nw city topography, as shown hr for Kaisrkai HafnCity is accssibl through a complx and fficint transport systm. Public transport srvics play th main rol. Th nw 4 subway lin is th cntral transport artry, which is complmntd mainly by a dns ntwork of bus srvics FLOOD PROTECTION HAS TOP PRIORITY Flood protction was, and rmains, an important prcondition for building HafnCity. Thr was a conscious dcision not to surround it with diks. Works would hav had to b compltd prior to ralization of th first buildings throughout th nw district s 127 hctar land ara. A spdy start to HafnCity s dvlopmnt would thrfor not hav bn possibl and, at th sam tim, dik construction would also hav gnratd significant front-nd costs. From a built nvironmnt standpoint, diks would hav prcludd HafnCity s uniqu watrfront charactristics. Instad, nw buildings and strts ar built on lvatd mounds at a nw lvl of 8-9m abov man sa lvl, protcting th dvlopmnt from floods. Thy also offr spac insid for floodscur parking garags. In contrast, promnads and crtain squars rmain at th ara s prvious lvation of about 4.5 to 5.5m abov sa lvl, which attractivly prsrvs thir clos links to th watr and allows cration of usful public spacs of high quality. An additional challng is th clay soil. HafnCity s location on th Elb marshs is subjct to th alluvial influnc of th Elb, which mans that th uppr layrs of soil ar mad up mostly of clay and glacial sdimnt. As so-calld cohsiv layrs, thy ar highly watr absorbnt, which mans thy cannot bar havy wight. Sand, which is load-baring, bgins furthr down. This is why all buildings in HafnCity ar built on pils. Ths ar usually drivn around 20m dp into th arth, which transfrs th wight to th loadbaring sand layrs. For road building, prloading is usd to rais th lvl to about 10m abov sa lvl: th wight of hapd-up sand prsss any watr out of th cohsiv layrs of ground blow, crating a stabl foundation suitabl for road-building. Whn this procss is finishd, th sand prload is rmovd down to around 7.5 to 8m, th futur lvl of th road, so that piping and conduit can b laid and roads built. NEW ROADS AND BRIDgES All nw roads hav bn laid at a floodprotctd lvl of at last 7.5 to 8.3m abov sa lvl; in addition, nw floodproof bridgs hav bn built or oldr bridgs rnovatd and raisd. An xcption is th road Am Sandtorkai/wstrn Brooktorkai that runs btwn Hafn- City and Spichrstadt: bcaus of th proximity of th historic Spichrstadt,
62 HAFENCITY PROJECTs EssENTIAls 63 INFRASTRCTRE raising this strt across its ntir width was not possibl or maningful. In th sldom and brif cas of a storm surg, thrfor, nw flood-scur accsss to HafnCity ar bing cratd. Th first on alrady runs across th Kibblstgbrück bridgs. ndr normal circumstancs thy ar an attractiv rout for pdstrians and cyclists; in flood situations ths bridgs provid saf accss routs for mrgncy vhicls. Th scond flood-proof road axis to th dikprotctd innr city is via Brooktorkai, Shanghaiall and Übrsall and can b usd by public transport vn in cas of flooding. Additional flood-scur connctions will b nsurd via two othr bridgs, Grossmarktbrück and Frihafnlbbrück, which both link up with Vrsmannstrass. Roads in HafnCity ar plannd in at an arly stag but th ralization of road surfacing, pavmnts, cycling lans or parking bays only taks plac gradually and in clos coordination with construction firms. This is why almost all roads initially gt tmporary surfacs. Th final surfac is thn laid and finishd aftr compltion of th surrounding buildings, togthr with ancillary surfacs, cycling paths/strips and tr planting. INTO THE CITY BY CAR OR ON FOOT Four road bridgs currntly connct HafnCity with th city cntr. Am Sandtorkai/Brooktorkai, a strt running ast-wst, srvs as wstrn HafnCity s cntral accss road link northwards. From it, traffic fans out along to th south, primarily via Shanghaiall and Osakaall. Thn it continus across Kornhausbrück bridg along an xtnsion of th so-calld Domplatz axis thruway. On a boulvard running from Übrsboulvard across Kornhausbrück and Domplatz, Jungfrnstig is just tn minuts walk away. Traffic infrastructur in astrn Hafn- City, undr dvlopmnt in th nxt fw yars, will also b xcllnt. Th main artry, Vrsmannstrass, will connct with a sris of intrnal and xtrnal links. A nw bridg in th ast will connct Vrsmannstrass via th wholsal Th nw 4 subway is a ky building block for mobility in HafnCity. It startd rgular srvics in Dcmbr 2012 markt sit to Amsinckstrass, rliving HafnCity of much through traffic. BRIDgE ACROSS BAAkENHAFEN HARBOR ENSRES RAPID ONWARD DEVELOPMENT A nw bridg ovr wstrn Baaknhafn links th northrn and southrn parts of th nighborhood. Th 170m long Baaknhafn Wst bridg marks anothr important milston on th way to th rapid dvlopmnt of astrn HafnCity, for which infrastructural connctions followd by housing construction continu to progrss. Mdium trm this flood-scur accss road might b continud across th Rivr Elb to Klinr Grasbrook. In addition, numrous pdstrian and cycling routs will b cratd; two pdstrian bridgs ar plannd across Baaknhafn harbor basin.

For that rason, nois insnsitiv srvic uss will dominat in astrn Vrsmannstrass, which will also improv nois protction for rsidntial uss. ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY TRANSPORT HafnCity s cntral situation is also an opn invitation to dispns with cars: th complx ntwork of footpaths and cycling routs is unusually clos-mshd. Thos who do not own a bicycl can hir on from th Hamburg systm of rntal points. An ssntial rquirmnt for sustainabl dvlopmnt in HafnCity, with its dns mix of uss and high numbr of visitors, is an fficint public transport systm. Th nw 4 subway is thrfor a ky lmnt of HafnCity mobility. This is undrpinnd by th xtnsiv ntwork of bus stops: lin 6 runs along Am Sandtorkai in th dirction of wstrn Hafn- City and th Spichrstadt; th nw 11 lin travls from Landungsbrückn through to Shanghaiall. A NEW SBWAY LINE Rgular srvics of th 4 subway bgan in Dcmbr 2012 via Übrsquartir station, conncting HafnCity dirctly to Jungfrnstig subway station and th cntral railroad station. HafnCity nivrsity station follows in lat summr, in tim for th opning of th univrsity to som 2,000 studnts toward th nd of 2013 on th nw Elbtorquartir campus. Hamburg s Snat has alrady givn th grn light for th subway s xtnsion to Elbbrückn, which bgins in 2013.
