Masterplan Innenstadt Bad Godesberg EN

Three key challenges of recent years – the climate crisis, digitization and the effects of the corona pandemic – require a paradigm shift in the planning of inner-city areas. While the focus in the last five decades – also in Bad Godesberg – was on building and traffic development, in future these must be penetrated by green and blue open space elements in order to create inner cities with a high quality of life.

The primary goal for the future of Bad Godesberg’s city center is the networking and qualification of open spaces and a multifunctional development structure. Due to the consequences of anthropogenic climate change, the city needs a courageous and innovative vision of the future in order to reorient itself.

The classic conception of city and landscape with their respective components has so far described a juxtaposition. The central idea of PARKSTADT Bad Godesberg encompasses a new comprehension that sees the tension field between building and open space as an integrative and interconnected network of all components and gives the unit “park”  a superior position as a connecting element.
