It serves as an integrative coordination tool across municipal departments &#8211; such as civil engineering, transport, environmental affairs, and building construction &#8211; as well as with social stakeholders, aiming to promote a livable, climate-resilient, and socially inclusive urban environment.<br><br>A comprehensive analysis revealed that the potential of public spaces in several parts of the city is either underutilized or not yet fully realized. These findings informed the development of a spatial portfolio outlining concrete measures for improving these areas &#8211; tailored to specific local uses and spatial conditions.<br><br>At the core of the concept are guiding principles for different street typologies, which define spatial elements and vegetation strategies based on location, function, and urban context. A particular focus lies on the transformation of traffic and parking areas into diverse and high-quality open spaces. In this context, projects such as Bahnhofstrasse and Bahnhofplatz are being further developed to significantly enhance the quality of public space.<br><br>Implementation is taking place in phases and includes climate-adapted planting schemes, the introduction of traffic-calmed zones, and the creation of new green urban spaces. A key objective is the improvement of microclimatic conditions &#8211; achieved through the reduction of sealed surfaces, the use of permeable pavements, and the integration of water-retaining &#8220;climate concrete blocks.&#8221; These elements not only support stormwater infiltration and reduce flood risks, but also contribute to local cooling through increased evaporation &#8211; an important step toward urban climate adaptation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11444,"menu_order":86,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"project-type":[86],"project-tag":[90,87,88,283],"class_list":["post-10652","projects","type-projects","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","project-type-large-scale","project-tag-masterplan","project-tag-open-space-concept","project-tag-urban-development","project-tag-vulkan-urban"],"acf":{"featured":false,"hero_image":null,"home_order":0,"main_images":[10718,10716,10662,10666,10656,10654,10676,10674,10672,10658],"process_images":[10686,10670],"hover_image":11444,"hide":false},"translations":{"en":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/projects\/2637-open-space-concept-romanshorn\/","de":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/projekte\/2637-freiraumkonzept-romanshorn\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/10652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/projects"}],"version-history":[{"count":16,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/10652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18419,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/projects\/10652\/revisions\/18419"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10670"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10686"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10658"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10672"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10674"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10676"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10654"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10656"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10666"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10662"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10716"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10718"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11444"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project-type?post=10652"},{"taxonomy":"project-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.studiovulkan.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project-tag?post=10652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
