The proposal for the City of Hamm, located along the river Lippe, connects the historic inner city with the newly planned canal front quarter: a strong and tangible connection between the city center and the river that consists of a generous green public recreational space, a residential area with the distinct quality of living beside the riverbank and an inviting and representative cityscape along the shores of the Lippe. A sequence of attractive places leads from the historical inner city to the canal.
