Inspiring housing projects can exist at the scale of the room, the apartment, the block, the street, even the city. In hour four, we visit two projects at the neighbourhood scale, providing new homes, streets and community spaces for thousands of people. In London, the Colville Estate master plan by Karakusevic Carson Architects has doubled the number of homes on a canal-side site. It now features over 900 homes plus a community centre and gallery space in sleek brick blocks. In Vienna, with new homes for more than 25,000 people and up to 20,000 workplaces, Aspern Seestadt is one of the largest urban development areas in Europe. We will look at phase 3 - Quartier “Am Seebogen,” which combines ambitious housing concepts with a mix of additional functions enabling communities to engage and form their own livable quartier.
