C.F. Møller Architects won the commission to prepare design and landscape guidelines, to asses the impact of tracks, masts and stations in the urban realm and open landscape.

The EIA report describes a new line from Marselis Boulevard via Aarhus Central Station, the harbourfront and Randersvej to Skejby, and further on past Lisbjerg to Lystrup. An infrastructural intervention of this scale provides a unique potential to re-think and connect vital urban development zones, and create a better urban realm. The guidelines include visual and aesthetic analysis of urban spaces and landscapes along the new line, and proposals for new layouts and terrain adaptations.

The report also contains design proposals for tracks, masts, wiring, stations, platforms, urban furnishing and bridges. The aim of these designs is to uncover the potential for better urban spaces and design qualities in the public realm, and how overall design principles can be combined with site-specific adaptations and elements.
