Recovering landscape - creating new wetland site at the rio Llobregat shore in Cataluña Barcelona
| Summary: | The chosen theme was the result of personal observations and examines the role of sustainable development in the urban context. Design solutions are leading to improving the quality of landscape as a response to unique circumstances and potential for the degraded land. This study is motivated by two research questions: (1) how to improve the landscape crafting ecologically smart and socially significant new public space? (2) how biodiversity in urban structure need o be understood for creating future landscape? (Luengo Añón and Rössler 2012). The selected area is located in Barcelona (Cataluña, Spain), near the Llobregat river and can be distinguished as highly degraded after times of economic growth of the city. Closeness to the river creates an opportunity to build a new relationship between city, agriculture, and river. Restore the ecological balance in this part is a priority. Therefore, starting point for the future concept is extracted the hidden potential of the site, which has a chance to become value place not only for people but also for wildlife |
