The design aims to ensure that the neighbourhood’s green and open spaces connect the urban space with the green space along the Lech river. Green corridors stretch in an east-west direction as far as Berliner Allee and bring cool air into the city, alleviating the summer heat. An additional walkway along the Lech separates cycle and pedestrian traffic, while small squares by the water invite people to linger. The public green areas provide space for play and sports activities, while private green spaces are created in the courtyards. The boulevard connects all areas and is flanked by green spaces. Neighbourhood squares such as Osramplatzoffer space for markets and cafés. Climate trees and species-rich plants create a pleasant microclimate, while rainwater management relies on infiltration troughs and green roofs to create a sustainable neighbourhood.
