Abstract
This project is about redesigning the inter-urban area between Arnhem and Nijmegen in the Netherlands into a coherent multifunctional forest structure. To achieve this, three forest types are developed that respond to current challenges on a global scale. These types are the health forest, the climate forest, and the agroforest.
The design area is seen as a developing polycentric metropolis. The inter-urban forest will respond to the spatial challenges this poses. To this end, the project will make use of existing landscape elements, with a major focus on the Linge river.
