Being Green Capital of Europe 2017, the city of Essen became a blueprint for the transformation of a city in the heart of the Ruhr metropolis. The times of industrialization with expansive coal mining and steel production have given face and significance to this region, and the Ruhr area has thus become home to over 5 million people today. In a landscape, that 200 years ago was home to wild horses and farmers, these driving forces have created a metropolitan region, which is today the third biggest agglomeration of central Europe. The Zollverein colliery was once the most productive coal mine in the world and Krupp‘s steelworks are still a symbol of German steel processing industry today. But global changes in production and goods management have initiated another wave of change in the Ruhr region as well, and caused a crisis in the core industries of the region. See how industrial legacies have been transformed to green and blue infrastructures supporting biodiversity, sustainable water management and quality of life for the neighborhoods.
