A New Chapter for Areal Böhler

Rooted in the Rhineland's industrial legacy and shaped by a bold vision for the future, Areal Böhler is being reimagined as a place where work, life, and culture come together in entirely new ways. Where steel once shaped the region, the next generation of ideas, products, and encounters is about to take its place – a lively, mixed-use quarter where technology, the creative industries, craftsmanship, hospitality, culture, and education spark off one another.

Turning a vision like this into reality calls for a clear sense of direction – and that's exactly what our masterplan provides. Developed in close collaboration with Gehl, one of the world's leading urban design practices based in Copenhagen, it sets out a guiding framework for the next years. It's the common ground for everyone involved, making sure that every move – from the new landscape design to the next building – pulls in the same direction: an open, characterful quarter, shaped by the very philosophy Gehl has brought to more than 60 cities around the world – designing cities for people.
