My project aims to address the challenges that the city will be confronted with as all the new developments are planned for the northern part of the city, as well as, to provide sustainable ways of living in a flood-prone area. It tries to offer solutions to the challenge of recreating the local identity in a forgotten and neglected part of the city.
The rich and diverse history of this city is intertwined with the river Danube and it needs to remain visible in a forever changing world. (Less)
