Some 'concrete visions' were designed for a few special places
on the circular ring road, e.g.:
- 'The so-called Munich City Balcony' (figure 1)
The "Donnersberger Brücke" (bridge) is a rare example
of a place accessible to the public and offering an excellent
view over the city of Munich. One can experience the open space
and complex structure of the railway infrastructure as one of
the highlights of an urban townscape. At this place - which used
to be rather inhospitable - a kind of theatre loge is to be created
in the form of a 'Munich City Balcony'. Everything which is on
view from there constitutes the theatre hall.
- 'Open Space - Closed Space' (figure 2)
The crossing points between autobahns and circular ring road are
important orientation points in the city area. Arriving at or
leaving them means that one arrives at or leaves the central area.
A further development of these places at the ring road is envisaged.
This means that the entrances to the city such as the Luise-Kiesselbach-Platz
(square) in the south eastern part of the city are to be redefined
and redesigned as "portals of entry".
- 'The Chip' - An Action Forum for Entertainment and Fun
(figure 3)
The building developments of both sides of Heckenstallerstrasse
- a section of the circular ring road - have few relationships
with each other. Here the circular ring road is not considered
as an interruption in a unified structure, but rather as a structural
demarcation. After the completion of the tunnel construction this
road section will be turned into an open space to be redefined.
As residential streets on the inside will provide access to the
building development there will be no traffic in the open space
area.
The open space area is to be shaped as 'chip' which follows in
shape, design and orientation the former road space of Heckenstallerstrasse.
The open space area is to be provided with district-oriented as
well as residence-oriented uses such as playgrounds and facilities
for children and adoles
The upgrading and improvement of the living and sojourn qualities
as well as the image of the circular ring road will receive significant
impulses by accompanying action programmes to be implemented within
five years.
This means:
- Noise protection measures for existing residential buildings:
A 'modular unit system' consisting of single noise protection
components is developed to improve the residential quality at
the non-tunnelled sections of the circular ring road. These measures
are meant to realize typological solutions such as for instance
the construction of noise barriers, additional noise protection
facades ('second skin'), glass fronts on balconies and loggias,
etc.
- Grant Programme 'Living at the Ring Road'
Measures of noise protection are promoted by the grant programme
entitled 'Living at the Ring Road'.
- Urban/traffic relief approaches in the south-east section of
the circular ring road.
For this area different solutions are being developed, evaluated
and finally implemented.
- Urban Renewal/Grant Programme 'Socially-minded City'
Within the framework 'Socially-minded City' a joint programme
supported by the federal and state government is made available
for the social urban renewal of the city - it is meant to upgrade
individual urban districts, not only from an urban design point
of view, but in a comprehensive way, e.g. for the improvement
of all problem areas.
- Improving the Attractiveness of various places alongside the
Circular Ring Road:
By organizing a competition for the best ideas restructuring,
redesign, noise protection or upgrading of the above-mentioned
special places, the city will make the public space and locations
alongside the circular ring road more attractive.
All of these developments, measures and programmes are finally
designed to strengthen the circular ring road as a major traffic
hub and lively centre, meeting the great variety of demands it is
confronted with.
The reconversion and path to a 'new circular ring road' are meant
to consider and integrate the peculiarities of the space. At the
same time it will help to shape a new sense of identity and 'urban
culture' for the people of Munich.
