How Can the Site Contribute to the Productive City? 
Transport planning of the 1970’s has created the Schillerstrasse, running like an aisle through the historic centre of the Damm district. It acts as a barrier and has not been developed spatially or functionally for the past 50 years. Adjacent uses filled up “in-between spaces”, lacking any connection. The expected traffic-volume reduction of about 10,000 vehicles per day –due to the completion of the new ring road system in July 2017– will create the possibility to reconnect both sides of the street, to develop an urban structure on the northern side, with housing & commercial uses, and to integrate still usable building structures into the transformation.
