| Aims of the project | |
 |
| The design brief stated that the development must be ecologically sensitive, innovative, reasonabl priced, provide for a wide range of users, and be completed rapidly. Those responsible for the landscape design also introduced the aim of integrating the industrial heritage of the site with the existing pattern of open spaces to create a park with strong links with its past. The German Federal State of Nordrhein-Wesfaien and various cities in the region of Emscher have initiated several projects with the ultimate goal of refurbishing old industrial areas in the Ruhr basin. This large-scale redevelopment program has been introduced in the Emscher region to clean up the contaminated land and watercourses, to re-introduce green areas into the agglomeration, and to boost economic production. |
