The development model was developed jointly by urban planning, landowners and the neighbourhood association in a broad, cooperative process. Four workshops between June 2024 and May 2025 ensured broad participation and made it possible to identify specific opportunities for the nine sub-areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>The structure plan identifies nine sub-areas, from Straubenzellstrasse to Debrunner Ost, which are to be developed individually and with a mix of uses. The area offers additional floor space potential of around 80,000 m\u00b2, which can be used specifically for housing and workplaces. Better links between the neighbourhoods, more green and open spaces and new public squares are planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The future relocation of Bruggen railway station to the east and its merger with Haggen railway station are one of the reasons for the project. They eliminate existing barriers and make large-scale accessibility possible. The planned passerelle creates new path connections and improves the integration of neighbouring districts such as Lerchenfeld. The railway station project influences the ongoing local planning revision and serves as a lever for sustainable, urban densification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The development model provides the city and landowners with binding guidance for upcoming implementation projects in individual areas for the first time. The next steps concern the project planning for the railway station, including the Passerelle, and the transfer of the findings to the overall revision of local planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
