Our aim is to create a microcosm of a city that strives for a mix of uses between working, living, and learning. The competitiveness of neighborhoods is finally being redefined, both confronting and challenging municipalities to create structures that support the development of future fields of work enabling innovation.

Innovation, however, cannot be achieved without targeted knowledge transfer and knowledge spillover. The integration of networking platforms including co-working spaces, fabrication laboratories, WORLD factories and start-up incubators is essential for MARK 51°7. Inviting building complexes and pathways, interactive urban space, a central boulevard axis, as well as open canteens, cafés and restaurants, generate a more dynamic life and promote informal communication and face-to-face contacts.
