Wandsbek Markt II: New splendor and security for our district!
Wandsbek continues to develop: new measures for urban design and security improvements from 2025 will promote a lively district.
Wandsbek Markt II: New splendor and security for our district!
In Hamburg, we are currently working hard on the implementation of the “BID Wandsbek Markt II”. This project aims to make the district even more attractive for residents, visitors and commuter traffic. The first BID phase, which was completed in 2013, brought numerous improvements. In this expansion stage, sidewalks were renewed, modern lighting was installed and green spaces were maintained. These measures have not only improved the appearance of the area, but also strengthened citizens' sense of security. How Hamburg.de reports, the property owners have been involved in improving the neighborhood with great contributions that have funded additional initiatives such as annual winter lighting, additional cleaning and winter services.
With the planned establishment of the “BID Wandsbek Markt II” this year, further attractive measures are to follow. This includes the modernization of winter lighting, new hanging baskets for the summer and professional location marketing. The aim is an attractive, green future for the district that encompasses both ecology and atmosphere.
Security in the city
People's sense of security plays a central role in urban development. Dark places often create unwanted spaces of fear that can affect the well-being of residents. Cities should therefore ensure that well-placed street lighting has a positive influence on the perception of safety. This is also discussed in an article citymarketing.eu thematised. A well-thought-out lighting design can be crucial for this. Not only does it ensure better visibility in dark corners, but it also promotes social interaction and nighttime activity in the city. Vienna, for example, has impressively demonstrated how lighting design can sustainably change the character of city districts with a new lighting concept on the Danube Canal.
In Hamburg it is also important to pay attention to general safety. Creating clear sight lines, maintaining urban vegetation, and investing in security infrastructure are some measures that can help citizens feel safe 24/7. In this way, both the quality of life and the perception of the district can be increased.
In addition, citizens should be actively involved in participation processes to address their concerns regarding safety and well-being factors. Together with a well-thought-out lighting design and a clear focus on safety, future urban development projects can make a significant contribution to a lively and safe environment.
