Peter Haimerl's urban zoomtown project reflects a concept of a city as a cultural space which develops primarily through the movements flowing through it. zoomtown redefines the centers of individual cities with a view to the increased mobility of ist inhabitants and promotes the networking of metropolises by offering new means of transport.

Haimerls vision is driven by the desire "to detect our chances and our resources in precisely the non-static space which can be used more effectively. It is a concept of space that is sent through gates, and this spatial flow can superimpose and complement imagination, fantasy, sounds and feelings." zoomtown offers a correction of spatial concepts. It is another departure from manifested, solid interior and exterior spaces which have already been broken up by modernity. zoomtown offers a different foundation of usability, strength and beauty to contemporary human beings acting like nomadic migratory birds.
