Strategies of use

- Kerngebiet mixture of facilities, like in city centres

- 50 m to the border of Technical Service and along the tracks no housing
- No buildings 12 m parallel to the tracks and 6 m to the TS (emergency)
- Work and production, to keep jobs within the city
- Programmatic synergies with external stakeholders and neighbouring actors
- Possible new OBB headquarter: 800-1000 employees, 25.000 mp, NW, along the tracks
- OR: keeping the old place for the headquarter, demolishing the buildings in the NW area,
implementing new structures
- 2 scenarios (north and south)
