The urban development proposal is based on the existing historical town centres and consciously expands on them. The new quarters grow sensitively into the surrounding landscape and form a synergetic extension of the existing structures with their new centres. The social infrastructure will be centrally located as an anchor point in order to establish close links to both the existing quarters and the new residential areas. The expansion from the old town centres outwards creates an open network of green spaces, whose major stretches are oriented towards the main wind currents therefore acting as a fresh air corridors and channeling the fresh air far into the developed areas. This way, a sustainable open space framework is created, which contributes both to the temperature control of the urban space and to the reduction of fine dust pollution in the entire urban expansion area. For each town centre, a distinct location identity is formulated within the open space framework. The specificity of the architectural composition and the identification with the individual address is a deciding factor: Johanneskirchen, the green city perimeter/// Zahnbrechersiedlung, with a central garden city, Englschalking/// Daglfing, the productive city. The result is a confident, sustainable residential quarter as a continuation of the four existing quarters. The newly created infrastructure bridges the gap between existing and new buildings, between local residents and newcomers.
