Salzburg Lehen, Austria
The CONCERTO-area in Salzburg is situated in the city district of Lehen, a centrally located city district with a very high population density. This area mainly consists of multi-storey apartment houses, which were built between 1950 and 1970. The structure of this city district has changed fundamentally over the past years: The soccer-stadium was demolished, business-parks were abandoned and small stores moved to the big shopping-centres or closed.
Within the next few years, this area will be enhanced by an enforcement of specific construction projects to restore its central functions of public life (e.g. the construction of a new municipal library) and to create simultaneously urgently needed apartments. Two new rapid transit railway stations will be constructed along the railway line to create a complete new development for public transport in this city district.
The CONCERTO Approach
During the CONCERTO project the city district Lehen is to be reconstructed into a sustainable city area. It is the aim to highlight the existing structure via new building measures, including lanes, traffic and open spaces to mark the beginning of a long-run renewal process, which turns Lehen into a model city district of sustainable development. This project shows the possibility of generating electricity and heating energy for the apartments by solar energy in the middle of the city. It further shows how citizen meeting points and new living qualities are formed and how unused space can provide a new offer for stores, culture and free space for the residents.
