Gorlitz General Council project for reviving the old city center

​

Gorlitz a ghost town in the far east Germany. Facing the Polish border, the city is at risk. The city center is losing population and with it the city need help is to reinstate a dynamic inpu by  up dating the city to a new level of attractivnes. By experiencing a large set of tools from the icon to urbanism, density  and others ideas, I intend to create a new input involving a long term strategy to recreate a proper urban identity.
