Design Approach
The design approach focuses on attracting the different user groups within the city center with the addition of a new layer of functions. These functions combine to create a dynamic communal city center with an increase in the visual connection between users and different spaces.
Design Concept
The spine, the central boulevard, connects different spaces taking users from the main street to the riverfront through the new central plaza that converted from car space to a pedestrian zone. The user experiences the distinctive character of spaces along this spine which enhances the city identity.
