Short Introduction to the Area of Study
Luisenplatz is a central and most dynamic square in Darmstadt. It is a gravitation point of the city for its central location and the overlap of transit and commercial functions. Luisenplatz is a main public transport change station as many bus and tram lines cross at this square. Pedestrians, cyclists and public transport co-exist at the same place as there is no pavement demarcation between pedestrian paths, bike paths and driveway for the public transport. On the other hand, the square is an “entrance” for the biggest shopping mall in the city and thus attracts many shoppers on a daily base not only from Darmstadt but from the nearby towns as well. It will be interesting to investigate how this place functions, who are the main consumers of the space and how they perceive it.
