The proximity to the government district and Berlin's new main

train station has greatly influenced the development of this

area. The narrow profile of the canal, which was laid out by

Joseph Peter Lenné, is to be enhanced by the interactionbetween an open space accentuated by artistic elements and

the Museum for the Present (Museum für Gegenwart) in the

former train station Hamburger Bahnhof.

The urban planning concept follows the linear north-south

structure and provides for the development of graded strips of

use between the railway and the waterfront. The development

of a mixed-use neighbourhood must be organised in

subsequent time phases. Whereas compact structures for

service-oriented small businesses and service providers, as

well as company headquarters requiring close proximity to

institutions in the capital city, are to be built along the railway,

conference facilities, hotels, and other central uses can be

located along Invalidenstrasse. Low density residential

development oriented towards the water is planned. New

footbridges will serve as links between neighbourhoods and to

large open spaces.

Implementation will be influenced by a number of factors,

including the dynamics of development of the area around the

train station and the demand for governmental-orientated

uses. The time frame for the project also depends on the

relocation of the street Heidestrasse and of the container

terminal.
