Neugestaltung Münsterstraße, DORTMUND

We have been part of a participative redesign of Dortmund Münsterstraße, to convert it through a process implemented step by step. Traffic and mobility have been rethought and organized, with a gradual reduction of the latter - to be diverted into other main arteries - and a strengthening of the north-south connection with privileged routes for alternative mobility.
Münsterstraße have been therefore redesigned in 2 steps as a new multicultural meeting place, firstly implementing the slow mobility and bicycle connection, afterwards acting with a traffic further reduction and with new green spaces integrated.

With the space we have managed to gain - prioritizing slow mobility - we have enriched the urban space with structures for socializisation, mobility-hubs and green spaces, giving new impetus to the development of this part of the city.

Different square situations can be found along Münsterstraße, which were divided into sequences. Each square is designed differently from the street space in order to reinforce the rhythm, together with new gathering spots to bring life, like platforms for multicultural exchange and social interaction between different users.
