PUBLICA PRESENTS a VISION FOR THE DOMACHSE, HAMBURG

October 2023

Publica was invited by Hamburg City Council to participate in an ideas competition for the future of the Domachse, a crucial north-south series of streets that connect the historic city centre (Innenstadt) and the Binnenalster Lake to the Elbe and the HafenCity development. Over the course of six weeks, Publica developed a proposal for a street activated by a diverse calendar of events and a series of public realm interventions that will combine to realise the potential of the street and define its purpose and identity within Hamburg. The scheme is designed to be implemented gradually, with the public realm interventions being delivered alongside events over several years, resulting in the long-term transformation of the Domachse. This gradual implementation makes the scheme inherently flexible, inviting the people of Hamburg to take part and influence the future of the street.

Publica's proposal was presented to the council and the public in the historic Hauptkirche St Katharinen in Hanover this October.
