Expertise
As lead partner of BATS, Hamburg-Altona has coordinated transnational cooperation on year-round active mobility and tested two infrastructure interventions. On Reventlowstraße, the borough piloted physical protection for cycle lanes, assessing cyclist safety, comfort and compatibility with winter maintenance. In the Lessingtunnel and Elbschlosstunnel, it tested light projections to improve the attractiveness and perceived safety of walking and cycling routes during dark hours, using on-site surveys to evaluate both interventions.
Hamburg-Altona is the lead partner of the BATS (Baltic Sea region – Active MobiliTy Solutions – in darkness and all-weather conditions). The district works to make active mobility a safe, attractive, and reliable year-round option for residents aged 8 to 80. Altona is the westernmost urban borough of the German city state of Hamburg. Located on the right bank of the Elbe river, Altona has a population of 250 000 inhabitants.
