The green connector is a project with a design proposal for a given area in Aalborg municipality. The city of Aalborg is expecting a population growth during the upcoming years.
The focus in this project is to transform an old industrial and natural area in Aalborg municipality that can handle the future urban and climatic changes.
The project site is situated in between the city center and suburbs and creates a rift between these.
The site itself has a historical value from times when Aalborg was an industrial city.
The project focal point is activating the site, connecting city center and suburbs as well as developing the green axis as a connecting element through the site. Due to the climatic changes, the site was designed with a focus on handling a massive amount of rain. During the design process there have been worked with sustainable development through environmental, social and economical aspects.

The site is located southeast of Aalborg center. To get a better understanding of the chosen area different analysis were made such as mobility and movement, street typology, green infrastructures and different user groups in connection to the new super cycle path with the Hadelsgymnasium. The design will attract people of all ages and create an attractive new space for people to be active, socialize and have fun.
Analysis
The analyses have been made to gain a bigger understanding of the existing site and the context around it. The focus is the structure and design of the site including the analyses, street typology, building functions, user groups and mobility and movement as well as a quantitative analysis of the site in the form of observations.
