Project sem.2, Urban Design Master, AAU, Aalborg, Denmark
ABSTRACT
This project concerns the introduction of a new mode of transport through the heart of Aalborg - a light rail system is proposed implemented in
the city network, and this mode of transport challenges the way in which we understand and perceive mobilities.
Our proposal is an answer to the question of how the city can be molded through the addition of a green railscape, energizing sustainable city life by creating a green corridor that regenerates and strengthens urban habitats.
The report contains a design manual, including the theoretical framework of sustainable mobilities and ecological approaches, as well as design guidelines for the proposed light rail stretch, connecting Aalborg from east to west. The strategic principles from the manual are exemplified through a site specific pilot project for the light rail interchange at Vestby Station.
