Emscher: Dialogue
The Emscher Urban Landscape 2020, as the name indicates, is a long-term project. SAUL has contributed to the development of the masterplan for the redevelopment of the Emscher Valley, which in future will be the backbone of the evolving larger Emscher Landscape Park. A broad partnership of stakeholders was involved in this process at a strategic level through the Emscher Dialogue. At the same time, a growing number of citizens, local action groups and nature conservation groups wanted to be involved in the physical projects. SAUL pilot projects used intensive public involvement processes to test participative ways of providing feedback into the planning process. In this way the strategy and design guidelines began to be rooted in community policies.

Opening of the Disconnection Project
Sustainable storm water
Around the Emscher River, regional partners reached a shared understanding
that water management can be a strong driving force for environmental,
social and economic development. Emschergenossenschaft
was invited to become more widely involved in sustainable storm
water and disconnection projects. New projects were developed as
part of SAUL, particularly with housing developers. When house-building
companies renovate properties, they now share with Emschergenossenschaft
the task of redesigning the public green spaces around them. This
facilitates the construction of attractive landscape features that
also have the function of disconnecting storm water drainage from
the public sewers. The result is to increase both the economic and
ecological value of those developments, while making the environment
more sustainable.
Further information about the outcomes of the above SAUL projects can be found in the partnerships Final Report.
TEMS (Training, Employment, Maintenance and Sustainability)
