Porz shines new: inauguration of the Neue Mitte on Ebert-Platz!

Friedrich-Ebert-Platz, Porz, Deutschland - Am Friedrich-Ebert-Platz in Porz has taken the official inauguration of the so-called “Neue Mitte”. This extensive construction project should not only beautify the cityscape, but also revitalize life in the center of Porz. The renovation initiated since the beginning of June 2019 comprises over 130 rental apartments, of which more than a third are publicly funded. In addition, there are three new buildings that offer space for gastronomy and retail in addition to a supermarket. Radio Köln reports that the new rental apartments will be directly above the shops.

A real eye-catcher of the project is the redesign of Friedrich-Ebert-Platz. Here, visitors can expect freshly planted trees, cozy seating and a bubbling water feature, all of which contribute to improving the quality of stay. The space not only serves as a through area, but should also offer space for encounters and events. Neue Mitte Porz emphasizes that the new uses will also ensure life in the center outside of regular business hours.

architectural diversity meets functionality

The planning and architecture of the new center promises high quality and varied design. Modernity Stadt GmbH was responsible for House 1, while a draft by Molestina Architects GmbH was awarded for Haus 2, which emerged from a qualification process with ten architectural offices. House 3 was also designed by a award -winning architect group, Kaspar Kraemer Architects GmbH. Neue Mitte Porz attaches importance to the creative integration of the architectural claims to the changing urban space.

The redesign of public space takes up current urban challenges that are of central importance in the European city. This includes the balance between historical identity and the new requirements for the city. Questions of the design and organization of public space are not only important for social coexistence, but also for the creation of identity and belonging.
