The city of Braunschweig wants to realise an urban quarter based on a mixed-use concept as part of the conversion of the former main station. The aim is to clarify how the integration of resource-conserving and locally embedded ‘urban production’ can be ensured for the city’s business development organisation Braunschweig Zukunft GmbH.
The study includes a presentation of the advantages, challenges and effects of sustainable urban production in the city, a company survey on urban production in Braunschweig and the development of recommendations for action to promote and implement sustainable urban production for the urban quarter Hauptgüterbahnhof using a reference catalogue with best practice examples as a basis for development and design.
The results of the study are intended to strengthen the business location, particularly with regard to underpinning the existing large companies, as well as to contribute to the sustainable and resource-conserving urban development of Braunschweig in accordance with the Leipzig Charter and to the attractiveness of the residential location.
