HafenCity Гамбург [DE]

The overwhelming challenge of our time is to build cities that protect the earth’s resources and habitats through sustainable and climate adaptive planning. KCAP takes on this challenge and has developed a holistic and futureproof design approach that combines flood protection with broad urban agendas. Exhibition In the exhibition ‘Sea Change: Flood Resilient Architecture of the 21st Century’, two of our flood resilient plans are on display. The exhibition showcases work of architects that are leading the way in making our built environment better equipped to adapt to the growing climate reality of urban flooding. HafenCity, Hamburg Since HafenCity is located in the flood zone of the Elbe, there was a need for the development of an innovative concept for the integration of sustainable and climate adaptive planning. The urban plan, developed in cooperation with ASTOC, integrated concepts for flood prevention in a right from the start. The multidisciplinary approach translates intelligent interventions and technological solution into a comprehensive holistic plan. East Dike, Shenzhen KCAP + FELIXX developed a triple dike strategy to restore the coastline and raise protection standards against the more frequent occurrence of extreme weather events. This multifaceted dike system allows for an integrated approach towards the climate adaptive reorganization of the shore. The adaptive design offers a framework for the entire coastline area to evolve into a multifunctional zone with potential for social and economic growth. Next to our projects HafenCity Hamburg and East Dike Shenzhen, more architects' work on the topic of flood resilient architecture will be exhibited. The exhibition will be on show from February 1st until May 16th at Roca London Gallery.

After visiting Grasbrook in Hamburg, KCAP, as one of six firms, starts working on new concepts for developing this old harbour area into a vibrant new neighbourhood. Main challenge will be to connect Grasbrook on the south bank over the Elbe river to the city center and Hafencity on the north side.    

We are looking forward to being on board of the Clipper Stad Amsterdam in Hamburg on October 11th with Space&Matter, Amsterdam Trade & Innovate and the Netherlands Business Support Office Hamburg for this day program about Integrated Waterfront Transformation. How do you transform a former port area into a lively urban waterfront district? Hamburg and Amsterdam can learn a lot from each other on this subject. Get inspired during a series of content sessions with Dutch and German experts and innovators and the site visit of KCAP/ASTOC’s urban plan for HafenCity Hamburg. An area that is being transformed from former harbour into a lively urban quarter, revealing innovative and integrated concepts the field of sustainability and climate-proof urban development.  Entrepreneurs active in the field of sustainable urban development and looking for cooperation opportunities in Hamburg are cordially invited to participate in the programme. Are you interested to join the programme? Please register via the event website.

  ‘Magistralen’ is this year’s theme of the International Bauforum 2019 Hamburg. Magistralen is the German word for arterial corridors. In this case the seven largest arterial corridors of the city. During the Bauform, KCAP participates in workshops as part of an international group of architects, urban planners and students. They join forces to find solutions for reconnecting the arterial roads with new uses in the field of traffic and urban development. Finding solutions is vital to Hamburg to keep the city accessible and livable in the future. Designing well connected open cities is, after all, one of KCAP’s key elements. During the workshop-like meetings various combinations of starting points and rules are tested to see how different urban structures, programmes, densities and growth forecasts would react to various interventions regarding infrastructural and mobility. The results provide a wealth of information for the development of concrete spatial designs.   KCAP holds a strong relationship with the city of Hamburg which started with the development of HafenCity. The multidisciplinary approach of the masterplan for the harbour area, which was developed in cooperation with ASTOC, translates smart interventions and technological solutions into a comprehensive holistic approach. Instead of a sum of isolated interventions, the master plan facilitates cross-fertilization between infrastructure and mobility, resilient and sustainable planning, flood protection, identity, ecology and biodiversity. An adaptive planning approach that has proven itself fruitful in many cases and is highly applicable for the development potential of the Magistralen as well.

As urban planner, KCAP is facing the challenges of ecology and constantly strives to develop futureproof and resilient cities for future generations. With our broad multidisciplinary approach to complex design issues, we ensure that sustainability and resilience strategies are incorporated and addressed in a holistic manner on all levels of our designs. To share that experience and show how we are designing solutions for smart and resilient cities, Jeroen Dirckx is joining the Smart Cities mission to New York. The multidisciplinary Dutch delegation will visit and contribute to the Smart Cities New York conference that will take place from May 13th – 15th. In the workshop ‘Climate Resilient Cities: The Dutch Approach’, Jeroen will explain our expertise on resilience with among others the example of our urban plan for HafenCity Hamburg. HafenCity is Europe’s largest inner-city redevelopment project. Being transformed from a former port area into a new city district, HafenCity enjoys a magnificent location at the water. At the same time it has to cope with the risks being located in the flood zone of the river Elbe. The urban plan, that was developed in cooperation with ASTOC starting in 2001, concepts for flood prevention have been integrated right from the start. Instead of building costly dikes that would have also negatively influenced the attractiveness of this unique waterfront location, the area has been designed flood proof. The most important means are that the buildings are built on mounds of 8 - 9 meters above sea levels and streets and bridges are elevated to more or less the same height. This ensures that even during severe storms, the buildings are be protected from flooding and traffic can continue. To add to the attractiveness of the waterfront location, the promenades enjoy the proximity to the water as they remain on the ...

The City of Hamburg has earned a "Special Mention" by the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize 2018. The biannual international award honours outstanding achievements and contributions to the creation of liveable, vibrant and sustainable urban communities around the world. Our own HafenCity project is one of the central transformation initiatives by the City of Hamburg that helped earn the award. Regarding the HafenCity project, the jury lauds: "Hamburg is recognised as an extraordinary port city that has overcome planning challenges to become an attractive and welcoming city of opportunities for a population that now includes a growing number of immigrants. It has very effectively evolved from previous conventional practice of urban expansion on the fringe through the successful implementation of its inner city densification strategy to cater to increased demand for housing and urban mobility from its growing population. The new HafenCity is an excellent demonstration of this strategy. The former underused harbour and industrial space located next to the historical "Speicherstadt" warehouse district has been transformed from a dilapidated area into a dynamic mix-use district of urban housing, workplaces and recreation areas. Recognising that built heritage is an important aspect that adds to the quality of life in an ever-changing environment, the city placed great emphasis on the urban design of the new district to relate to the old city, and to align vistas with the spires of the old churches while also sensitively providing protection against flooding and rising waters."   You can find the full jury report here.

At the Building Green conference in Copenhagen on November 2nd and 3rd, Jeroen Dirckx, urban planner and associate at KCAP, will introduce KCAP's approach to sustainable urban design and present three international cases as keynote speaker. Since its founding in 1989, KCAP is focussing on realising sustainable urban neighbourhoods with a strong social coherence. With the GWL Terrain in Amsterdam, KCAP pioneered in designing a car-free living environment with communal facilities and urban farming. In Hamburg, we planned the flood-resilient HafenCity urban expansion, one of the largest brownfield developments in Europe, which received a TOD Gold Award. More recently, KCAP leads the multi-disciplinary design team of the CO2-neutral FredericiaC project in Denmark. This transformation of a polluted former harbour area into a vital new city district includes themes like climate change adaptation, urban prosperity, energy efficiency, urban farming, participation, temporary landscape and social cohesion.

HafenCity Hamburg is one of nine best projects worldwide that received the TOD Standard in Gold. KCAP’s urban plan for the eco-friendly GWL Terrein in Amsterdam is certified with the TOD Standard in Silver. A global catalog of 50 urban developments on six continents was released yesterday by the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP). TOD (Transit-Oriented Development) Standard is an assessment, recognition and policy guidance tool uniquely focused on integrating sustainable transport and land use planning and design.  It shows which projects connect people conveniently, affordably and safely to jobs, shopping, education and other opportunities that cities provide. The evaluation is based on eight principles for better streets and better cities - walk, clycle, connect, transit, mix, densify, compact and shift - which when put into practice, will create vibrant, low-carbon cities where people want to live and work. The certificate gold rewards urban development projects that are global leaders in all aspects of integrated transport and urban design. Silver marks projects that meet most of the objectives of best practice to a high level of quality. Last year, ITDP released the first version of the TOD Standard. The Standard is endorsed by UN Habitat and the German Society for International Cooperation (GIZ), and is supported by ClimateWorks Foundation. More information about TOD Standard can be found on ITDP’s website.
