Abstract

Parkstad is a shrinking region especially after the closing of the mines, the social and economic impact was huge. Another major problem which still can be experienced today is the degraded landscape which was left behind. By seeing the operational landscape as inseparable from the urban fabric, and linking them again in a functional as well as aesthetic way a new metabolic system could emerge improving the quality of life and making the region adaptive and resilient.

Within the new urban metabolism, the themes of water, agriculture, energy, waste and material flows can be treated decentrally. It is applicable in the current situation as they offer a lot of options for reusing waste nutrients, extracting raw materials from waste and improving environmental performance.

Interconnecting these flows can result in adaptive and resilient strategies. These can also be adapted to the changing needs of the population and functions of Parkstad.

The focus is on three water strategies in three different locations which are the core of a new green connection adding quality and new perspectives for the people and future developments in Parkstad.
