Urban Design Project II Parapolis – The City of Residents Urban Upgrade 2016
The contributions to the Atlas developed in Urban Design Research and Design Project 1 (UDP1) describe and analyze the relationship between transitional or translational processes and Hamburg’s urban development. Scanning through and selectively reading specific episodes and sites, helps us discover the interests in and motives behind further processing this year’s topic “Parapolis — The City of Residents” in the Urban Design Research and Design Project 2. It raises questions concerning contemporary and sustainable ways of urban living and adequate forms of urban expansion that are the product of more than what is needed to meet the needs of exceptionally high immigration rates.
We will begin by examining the various typologies of Hamburg’s current urban development and transformation plans in the UDP2: Take 1 Operational Zones looks at their political and administrative aspects, Take 2 Site & Context: Subject to Urban Design deals with the location, circumstances, and urban development of individual projects, and Take 3 Agencies focuses on the urban everyday practices, places, and situations.
Based on the results of three takes and the motives that were developed at the beginning, the students form groups and design their own intervention-oriented research projects with the objective of evincing future potential spaces in groups and to bring selected players into the active process.

City of Residents
Approximately 1.7 million people currently live in Hamburg. 31% of these Hamburg residents statistically have a background of migration. In addition, in 2013, 5.8 million tourists entered the city, 325,000 people commute to Hamburg in a day-to-day basis, and there is also a growing number of refugees waiting in cramped lodgings for the outcome of their asylum proceedings.
