The city of Hamburg will expand the inner city by 40 percent on a total of 158 hectares of the former port area. Ten quarters are to be built there. Of these, Lothar Schubert, together with his partner companies, is responsible for the be Strandkai and the KPTN, with a total volume of more than half a billion euros. How he handles this responsibility, what inspires him, what precise ideas he expects for the living of the future, what works and what doesn't in urban development, how he gets hold of such large plots of land, or what innovative technologies he uses to plan and realize - we find out all this and much more in a frank conversation between Hamburg and Munich
