The 60-metre-wide boulevard creates an urban space that is unprecedented in Frankfurt: the 18-metre-wide footpaths, modern surface coverings, multifunctional furnishings, a lighting design for the urban space and the varied planting under the double avenue create a forward-looking, spacious cityscape.
The open spaces of the UEC are subdivided into walkways in the center, the central piazza and the four public squares in front of the entrances. The piazza is the central location of the UEC. The various functions are linked together here: Transit and connecting space, place to stay, recreation and relaxation space. The piazza is also an "art space" that will unfold as an enriching image for viewers on the upper floors of the office towers.
