Analyses
​
Circulations
Identified problems:
-
Huge roads, huge intersections - noise, unfriendly, pollution
-
Railway - used for industry; for people only when it’s an event at stadium; divide the plot into 2 parts
-
Weak connection between built areas because of the empty space between => isolated parts
-
Chaotic network of streets with blind alleys
-
Unfriendly streets for pedestrians and bicycle
-
No public transport in the empty space
Opportunities:
-
The route of water tram
-
Existing routes of public transport which can be connected

The Beach
We were interested in the neighbourhood between the Droga Zielona road and the sea. There are two districts of Gdansk each with their own identity: Brzezno and Nowy Port. The first is a historic district where bathing establishments could be found two centuries ago. While the second was an industrial district, connected to the port, with a bad reputation. There is a fracture between these two places, which tend to be separated from the rest of the city. We see large areas of residential areas, whether in single-family homes or in buildings. And there are large unused spaces that intensify the separation of neighbourhoods with the rest of the city. This land represents many opportunities and e want to propose a development plan.
