Cobe wins competition to design Stadt am Volkspark in Hamburg

Cobe has been selected as the winner of the competition to design Stadt am Volkspark in Hamburg, Germany — a mixed-use city district where living and working will be integrated with research and education.

The project will transform a 55-hectare site into three distinct neighborhoods, each with a unique identity shaped by the existing landscape: a Campus City, centered around the existing trotting track, featuring research and education facilities; a Garden City, inspired by the existing allotment gardens; and a Nature City, integrated with the surrounding forest. At the heart of the development will be a green corridor that not only links these neighborhoods but also integrates into Hamburg’s extensive network of green spaces, and connects directly to the city’s largest public park, Volkspark Altona. This green backbone will enhance biodiversity, manage rainwater, and provide expansive recreational areas for more than 8,000 new residents, along with thousands of students and researchers.
