IBA Hamburg GmbH
The
IBA Hamburg GmbH is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg and acts as one of the most important urban project developers in the Hanseatic city. Originally founded from 2006 to 2013 for the conception, implementation and completion of the International Building Exhibition Hamburg (IBA), it has been designing holistic, sustainable and future-proof neighborhoods in Hamburg as an urban development company since 2014. With a focus on the Wilhelmsburg, Neugraben-Fischbek and Oberbillwerder districts, as well as ten other new development areas on around 440 hectares, the IBA Hamburg is pursuing the goal of creating livable, mixed neighborhoods that combine housing, jobs and high-quality social infrastructure[1][2][5].
The mission of IBA Hamburg is to develop innovative and forward-looking solutions for the city of tomorrow. The focus is on holistic neighborhood development - from the first feasibility analysis, through planning, development, marketing to the sustainable establishment of stable neighborhoods. Particular attention is paid to the early and comprehensive involvement of all relevant actors from politics, administration, business and society, as well as the active participation of citizens. IBA Hamburg strives to unite the different needs of a heterogeneous society in new neighborhoods and creates spaces with high urban planning and design quality in which encounters and community are promoted[1][5].
The developed neighborhoods are characterized by a wide range of housing options for all phases of life, sophisticated mobility concepts and high-quality open spaces. Through central meeting places and attractive leisure activities, public space becomes an "extended living room" that promotes social cohesion. IBA Hamburg responds sensitively to the specific urban and ecological conditions of the respective location. With topics such as ActiveCity, nature-connected living or urban densification, urban strengths are worked out and individual neighborhood identities are developed[1].
Sustainability is a central guiding principle in the work of IBA Hamburg. The company pursues ecological, economic and social sustainability goals through innovative construction methods, energetic quality, resource-saving measures as well as the preservation and relocation of large trees to secure the urban green space - for example in the Wilhelmsburger Rathausviertel. In addition, the company is committed to the development of affordable housing with a high quality of life and social infrastructure in order to meet the challenges of the city's growth in a socially just and ecologically responsible manner[1][5].
In addition, IBA Hamburg is active as a modern, diverse employer with around 40 employees and as a pioneer in the field of citizen participation. The company uses innovative communication formats such as podcasts or mobile information services (e.g. Dialogbike) to involve the public in a low-threshold manner and to bring transparency to planning processes[1].
In summary, IBA Hamburg GmbH is a future-oriented engine of sustainable urban development that creates livable, diverse and socially integrated urban districts with a holistic approach, combining ecological responsibility, innovative planning and social participation.
