Stadt-Umland-Atlas Hamburg

As a growing metropolis, Hamburg must develop sustainable solutions to urgent issues in urban development. But climate action, the mobility transition, population growth, and affordable housing are challenges that transcend the city’s boundaries. With the Stadt-Umland-Atlas Hamburg (Atlas of Hamburg and environs), the Hamburg Ministry of Urban Development and Housing lays the groundwork for a new vision of Hamburg and the region: extensive data surveys capture patterns and potentials that emerge from the interweaving of the city and its surroundings. Translated into more than 250 maps, the atlas provides a comprehensive overview of the planning and design of future spatial structures in the Hanseatic city and beyond.
