Final presentation of Bratislava plan

TRANSBORDER URBAN DEVELOPMENT

 Cooperation  Action  Connection  Urban Renewal

Current situation of Bratislava’s extensions The majority of Bratislava’s current urbanization is located on the north/east side of the Danube.

There are many limits to the urbanization in this area. On the west and north side a green space, on the north/east, the airport and on the south/east, the refinery.

The space between these different areas is already very urbanized and the lack of place leads to a land pressure on the vineyards that need to be preserved.

Crossborder perspective : New balanced city  A transversal approach to assure the continuity between the East West of Austria and Slovakia  Creation of activities / housing / infrastructures attractive for both countries  A good proportion of housing and employment to control the mobility

Extension project:

Why developing this part of Obtok?

Three main poles of development

An economic pole in a natural environment to rebalance the metropolis

A recreative pole attractive for Austria and Slovakia

New poles for housing

For a unique place, the internal delta of Danube, a unique museum, located on the borderline The “Confluences” Museum

URBAN REORGANISATION and MOBILITY

Petrzalka's Development

District of Petrzalka  Housing Area

Area: 28.7 km2 / Pop: 126 565 in. / Density: 4 410hab/km2

 Proximity with the center  Only line buses, lack of mass collective transports  Strategic place for cooperation policies with Austria Objectives:

Diversity, Activities, Alternative Transports, Cooperation

Propositions Recreation area Cycle tour Developing axe Green connection Landmark

A developing axe to renforce the connection with Bratislava’s centre  A new Tram line to connect Petrzalka and the city-centre  To promove sport, cutural and commercial facilities along the urban boulevard  To limit the importance of car with only onelane road

Landmarks Why creating Landmarks in Petrzalka ?  New symbols and references points for a better orientation  Arousing tourist’s interest with a notable architectural and physical feature  These landmarks could find their seat on the urban boulevard and the tramway line Hanoi Landmark tower

London Eye, the “Gateway to London”

Uniformity of buildings, monotonous panorama

Landmarks and symbols given Petrzalka a new image

Recreation area, Cycle tour  Cycle path connecting Petrzalka to the city centre  Extension of the walkway in the South of Petrzalka  Connection with the « Obtok project »  Cycle and pedestrian way on banks of Danube’s river

Green connection with Austria by a new Green Bridge  Pedestrian and cycle favored bridge  Continuity with the green corridor  To weak the gap’s feeling caused by the highway D2/E65

Importance of water

Cooperation Diversity of functions and populations

Identity of Petrzalka

Balanced city Sport equipment

Leisure activities

New sciences pole

Alternative mode

Green frame

To get further… Design another strategy for the Hungarian connection Look for “communal urban policies” for both Slovakia/Austria and Slovakia/Hungary Reinforce the trans-border strengths
