WHAT THE TOWN LOOKED LIKE (1970)
MAP OF THE TOWN CENTRE IN 1970
The map shows the actual status of the town centre in 1970 based on retail trade, housing, pedestrian streets, parking etc.
In the Perspective Plan from November 1971, you can read the following:
“It must be considered doubtful as to whether the expansion of both public and private services in the coming decades can be integrated into the town centre. It is, therefore, necessary to compare the traditional town centre policy of centralisation to the alternative of decentralisation to shed light on the structural and economic consequences and traffic issues of the two development trends.”
WHAT THE TOWN LOOKED LIKE (2000)
MAP OF THE TOWN CENTRE IN THE YEAR 2000
The map shows the actual status of the town centre in the year 2000 as a result of decentralisation having been implemented.
The overview also shows the large number of listed and preservation-worthy buildings in the town.
In the Elsinore Municipal Atlas 2000, you can read the following:
“The town centre is unique. There are numerous listed buildings, some of the town’s oldest buildings and numerous well-built anonymous houses in addition to public buildings. The map also reflects the results of the preservation efforts that the municipality and private individuals have carried out over the past 30 years.”
PROPOSAL FOR THE CENTRALISED DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOWN (1971)
MODEL 1: CENTRALISATION
The map shows what the town centre could look like in the year 2000 according to the centralisation model. The calculations regarding retail trade, housing, pedestrian streets, parking, etc. were made in 1971.
In the Perspective Plan from November 1971, you can read the following:
“Following the centralisation plan will result in the total area requirement for shops and parking being quadrupled, which corresponds to the total area of the town centre. If these requirements are to be met, we will no longer be able to maintain the preservation-worthy structure of the town centre.”
PROPOSAL FOR THE DECENTRALISED DEVELOPMENT OF THE TOWN (1971)
MODEL 2: DECENTRALISATION
The map shows what the town centre could look like in the year 2000 according to the decentralisation model. The calculations regarding retail trade, housing, pedestrian streets, parking, etc. were made in 1971.
In the Perspective Plan from November 1971, you can read the following:
“Following the decentralisation plan will result in the total area for shops and parking being 1/3 larger than it is today (1971). This will mainly apply to ground-floor shops and parking and will comprise up to 1/3 of the town centre’s total area. Accommodating even larger areas for shops and parking would mean that we would no longer be able to maintain the preservation-worthy structure of the town centre.”
