emscher:future master plan
Special Award Infrastructure and Landscape 2013
The conversion of the Emscher system from an open, stifling sewer to an attractive, ecological waterway system is a generational project that was already initiated as part of the IBA Emscher Park. Initiated and financed by the Emschergenossenschaft, the emscher:zukunft master plan initiated an exemplary planning process for the integration of infrastructure into the landscape.
