Short description

The Petuelpark is a newly-made park with gardening and artistic elements situated above the Petueltunnel. Both, the park and the tunnel, connect the districts Milbertshofen and Schwabing.

Rationale: Why is this case study interesting?

Please summarise:- e.g. Design Innovation? Planning Exemplar? Theoretical Insights? Lessons learned from its failure? [It doesn’t have to have been successful]

Think about it from the view of another educator/student in a different country. Why should I use this case study in my teaching/education?

First of all, the Petuelpark is directly in Munich. So the population density is high in comparison to free space. Because of that fact, it's indispensible to make "new" space - for example above tunnels - accesible for public purposes. Beyond, in large cities there is often a leak of green space where people can recreate.

In this case, the concept is made for all generations. Therefore, there are different thematic areas in order to fullfill as much as possible the requirements of a wide ranged person group.

An art concept was developed contemporaneously with the urban landscape design. Now, 13 artworks are intalled all-around the park area.
