INTRODUCING ECO CITY HAMBURG-HARBURG
Big Thinking with a Small Carbon Footprint:

A Sustainable Creative-Industrial Environment for the Future

The initial signs of Germany's first entirely sustainable creative-industrial corporate development are sprouting up on the shores of Hamburg-Harburg Harbor. Once the site of Hercules Sägemann's Kamm worldrenowned comb factory, and a ship building area before that in the late 19th century, the new ECO CITY Hamburg-Harburg (ECO CITY) (www.ecocity.de) is situated on a site well associated with German entrepreneurship and ingenuity. ECO CITY revives and continues this tradition, offering new generations of businesses workspace that is healthy, sustainable, and inspiring. This innovative sustainable urban development will also serve as a major catalyst in the revival of the Harburg Harbor area when it is completed, bringing industry, entertainment, and pedestrian life back to the neighborhood. Once again, international design firm tec architecture (www.tecarchitecture.com) and global engineering company ARUP (www.arup.com) have teamed up to blend futuristic, environmentally-progressive architectural design with state-of-the- art technology and engineering to create a working city that challenges the notion how an urban, working environment should look and function. "ECO CITY represents a synergistic approach to urban development," explains tec Principal Sebastian Knorr. "By working in close cooperation with all the stakeholders and taking into consideration the immediate environmental context of the project, we've created a different type of sustainable, creative-industrial complex. We hope that iconic ECO CITY project becomes a model for sustainable urban development."
