Landscape Envelope Plan for an Elevated Railway Line

For the optimal development of the eastern HafenCity of Hamburg, an efficient connection to the public transport system is required. Suitable development was ensured by public transport with the construction of the U4 line in a first step. OECOS GmbH created the landscape envelope plan as part of the extension of the U4 line from the “HafenCity Universität”stop  on behalf of Hamburg Hochbahn AG. It assesses the intensity of the impacts on the natural environment and landscape and serves to set the amount of possible compensation or replacement requirements.
