Frankfurt is an international, dynamic and financial city with the highest towering skyscrapers silhouette of Germany, in whose streets the plurality of languages is something natural. It is very famous for the Main River which is the heart of the city.
The case study area extends from the historical bridge, called Eiserner Steg, to the old Großmarkthalle, the place where the Skytower project is being developed to house the new European Central Bank, proposed by Vogt Landscape Architects.
The banks of the river are the meeting place of the city, serving as a green space surrounded by museums, historical buildings and parks. It is characterized by its system of circulation, with interconnecting walkways, recreational facilities and open spaces full of contrasts, binding the modern with the traditional, the urban and the rustic associated with the life of the city, becoming an international oasis of culture, history, and landscape development.
