Study on the urban development of Hanau as a basis for the redevelopment of 13 barracks incl. landscape design

The project had the goal to elaborate sustainable concepts for the reuse of former US military sites and to integrate these efforts in a consolidated city wide development strategy. Hanau, a city within the Frankfurt Region, has now the unique chance and challenge to reposition itself as the ‘Green City Hanau’. This label was defined by the city in offering an attracti- ve place to live close to nature as well as providing high quality services for its residents. To achieve these ambitious goals the city has to boost its natural and open space resources as well as eliminate existing development obstacles.
