The district plan for Stage 2 of Nye is now effective
Aarhus Municipality has approved the second stage of the suburb Nye located just outside of Aarhus. Last week, the district plan for Stage 2 took effect, paving the way for more milestones in the highly ambitious and forward-thinking urban development project.
Stage 1 is currently home to more than 800 people and has brought the first part of Tækker’s vision for the city to life: a new type of nature-based urban development focusing on variety, life, and balance. In Stage 2, these principles will be elevated as Nye transforms from a suburban area into a thriving city.
Nye is developed by Tækker Group in collaboration with CEBRA, LABLAND architects, COWI, and TERRITORIUM.
Tækker is strengthening variety with the addition of social housing and new workplaces, which will contribute to both social and architectural diversity within the community.
With the existing NYMA store’s ambiance extending throughout the neighbourhood, life in Nye will become more vibrant. This will include new shops, an artisan bakery, restaurants, and a street market. The communal spaces will be expanded, supplemented by workshops, urban plazas, gathering places, and the first part of Nye’s main park “the Cultural Ring”.
In Stage 2, CO2 emissions from new buildings will be cut radically as all buildings below four stories are constructed from timber, and the use of recycled materials will be prioritised.
Nye balances city and nature. An innovative parking strategy will reduce paving, roads, and parking, making space for wild nature and the continued collection and recycling of rainwater.
This approach has already demonstrated a 40% reduction in water usage and a significant increase in biodiversity in Stage 1. In Stage 2, CO2 emissions from new buildings will be cut radically as all buildings below four stories are constructed from timber, and the use of recycled materials will be prioritised.
The now-activated Stage 2 plan for Nye is a significant leap toward our goal of creating a city with 13,500 residents.
Thank you to the City Council, the Technical Committee, and the numerous dedicated individuals and departments within Aarhus Municipality. Their cooperation and trust have been crucial in making this project a reality.
