From Residenzstadt to Residence: A New Quarter Between the Havel and The Old City Canal in Potsdam

The housing, energy and climate crises are shaping the current political discourse. At the same time, they have a concrete impact on cities and their residents: Rents in most major cities in Germany have been rising for years, which, coupled with rising energy and living costs, is making it increasingly difficult for many people to participate in urban society. Floods are becoming more likely, as are prolonged periods of drought, and longer periods of heat mean that cooling outdoor spaces are becoming increasingly important.
Using the example of a future lively and mixed neighborhood in Potsdam, you will examine the effects of these crises on cities and develop strategies to increase their resilience. The project area borders directly on the area where Poztupimi, the original cell of today's more than 1000-year-old city, is believed to have been located. The area is located on the edge of today's Potsdam city center and borders the Havel and the city canal, which is only preserved in fragments. It is characterized by two busy streets. A heterogeneous development with fragments from different building eras and a wide range of uses characterize the site today and call for the development of an identity for the area. While the open spaces by the water already have a high potential for recreation, there are large sealed areas for parking spaces and only a few green spaces in the interior. Your task in the SP is to create new areas close to the water for affordable housing and business while at the same time sensitively integrating the existing buildings. This requires a creative approach to the emissions from the adjacent streets. Potsdam is known, among other things, for its urban landscape criss-crossed by waterways and parks with the largest contiguous world heritage sites in Germany. This should provide an opportunity to address issues of water-sensitive urban design in particular. The aim is to create new open spaces for the district and adjoining neighborhoods that offer a high quality of outdoor living and at the same time make the district more resilient to extreme weather events such as heat and heavy rainfall. Sealed surfaces such as parking lots are to be unsealed and landscaping measures are to be proposed for the targeted routing and infiltration of rainwater in the neighborhood. A mobility concept is also to be devised that promotes public transport, pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
