Synopsis

Essen lies in the middle of the Ruhr area, between the Ruhr in the south and the Emscher in the north. In the city, the traditional industrial and energy groups, purpose associations and regional agencies of the Ruhr metropolis are based. Essen is not only considered a central business location, but also as a city in transition. The requirements for urban planning processes have changed considerably over the years. In metropolises, fewer and fewer areas are available, which are at the same time increasingly demanding requirements. The present publication attempts to document those inner urban master plan and those guiding principles in thematic chapters with which the city of Essen realizes strategies and formats, spaces and projects in the sense of contemporary urbanity in the course of industrial structural change. The specific topography of the city plays a formative role: the areas of the former mining industry in need of conversion are concentrated in the north and west, resulting in an asymmetry according to cardinal directions. This ranges from the established residential areas south of the A40 motorway as a felt inner-city social sheath to the changing neighborhoods in the northwest. Authors, themselves concerned with urban development, shed light on aspects of transformation and address the questions: How do we shape a sustainable, livable, future-oriented city of tomorrow that can meet the global demands of the 21st century?
