Hypercity 2130
Concept for urban growth corridors within natural spaces
Hypercity is an urban model that increases the natural space necessary for a healthy ecosystem to 50% by attaching it to existing mobility infrastructures. The hypothesis describes a futuristic agglomeration stretching along the A24 Berlin – Hamburg highway. Existing urban resources are efficiently used for new habitats and the Human is firmly integrated into stable ecosystems between plants and animals.
Hypercity, free of fossil fuels and based on ecological building and utilization principles. Infrastructure as a healthy and central element of the urban society
