The maps illustrate the projected transformations along Rampart Street over the period leading up to 2035.
Overall, the street is expected to undergo substantial transformation, with the most significant changes occurring in the western section, including the addition of new leisure and commercial facilities, as well as the conversion of vehicular roads into pathways designated for pedestrians and cyclists. By contrast, the eastern side is predicted to remain largely unchanged, apart from the redevelopment of the old castle in the northeast and the addition of a florist’s in the southeast.
At present, the area is predominantly composed of residential buildings alongside several public amenities, all of which are arranged around a winding central thoroughfare that runs from north to south and accommodates vehicular traffic. To the west of the road, there are only three buildings – a food store, an embassy, and a hotel – while the eastern side is more densely developed, featuring a sequence of structures from north to south, including an old castle, a museum of architecture, residential buildings, an art gallery, and a theatre. Additionally, an apartment building is located in the southwestern corner of the area, adjacent to the main road.
By 2035, the western part of the area will be significantly redeveloped with the introduction of various leisure and commercial facilities. A pub and a restaurant will be added in the northern part, while a gift shop will be constructed near the embassy. Furthermore, the southwestern area will be transformed into an exhibition center and an open-air exhibition space, replacing the current layout. The central road will also be converted into a pedestrian- and bicycle-only pathway, with no access for vehicles. Conversely, the eastern side will remain largely unchanged, retaining the museum of architecture, residential buildings, art gallery, and theatre. However, the old castle in the northeast will be replaced by a new structure surrounded by water features, and a florist’s will be introduced in the southeastern corner.
