STRATEGIES | Key points
The masterplan for the project area has been built up from four key points: ‘Preserving industrial and densifying’, ‘Enhancing blue and green structure’, ‘Communication’ and ‘Serving local life’. Each key point resulted into a strategy, which then resulted into a part of the masterplan. At the end, all the separate parts of the master plan were combined, in order to form the final masterplan. During this process, several feedback moments were created to assure that all key points match and they connect well to each other in the final master plan.
Preserving industrial and densifying
Enhancing blue and green structure
Densification has been used in order to make optimal use of the potential of the in-between spaces within the project area. Mostly residential functions have been added, in multi-use buildings. These buildings also contain industrial functions. The industry is integrated to make sure it is not pushed to other areas, while combining it smartly with other functions.
In order to strengthen the ecological and social qualities the focus is to increase the presence of green and blue. Structures in the form of larger green areas are added and green connections are implemented along the entire area of the masterplan. The river is highlighted, making it a central element rather than a background element.
