The GRC to be drawn up is intended to further develop the principles of existing planning, in particular the master plan "Freiraum schafft Stadtraum" and the "Stadtökologische Beitrag für den Essener Norden (STÖB)", and to focus on the current ecological, climatic, urban planning and social challenges in connection and interaction. A special focus will be placed on the three thematic areas of climate adaptation, biodiversity and environmental justice.
As a comprehensive planning instrument, the CSF is intended to include the following tasks in particular:
- Orientation for all questions of future green system developments (developing, expanding, networking),
- Decision-making support for green planning decisions within the framework of urban land-use planning and for land purchases for green system expansion,
- sectoral sectoral plan for green planning and open space development, taking into account and integrating the interests of urban, demographic and environmental issues.
Introduction and task:
Through forward-looking and integrated green space development, Essen has developed into a green city in the conurbation in the Ruhr metropolitan region. Based on individual historic gardens, the purchase and opening of the first public parking areas, plans for a municipal green space system were developed as early as 1927. To this day, they are the basis for all subsequent regional and municipal open space planning, such as the Emscher Landscape Park 2010, the Emscher-Future Master Plan, the "Urban Ecological Contribution for the North of Essen (2000)" or the urban master plan "Freiraum schafft Stadtraum" (2006).
Despite the large number of already existing green and open space planning individual concepts and plans, the city of Essen currently does not have a city-wide concept that contains a clear idea and direction for the future development of green and open space. Adapting to past or outstanding turning points in the field of climate and climate adaptation, biodiversity, environmental justice and urban development under simultaneously increasing land pressure requires the realignment of sustainable and future-oriented specialist planning.
The City of Essen therefore intends to create concepts, brochures and guidelines under the title "Master Plan Urban Green 2030" that address urban green spaces in all its facets. The aim is to master the current diverse challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss and land competition in urban areas. The main part of the Urban Green Master Plan is to be a city-wide green space and open space development concept (GRC), which has been drawn up for the first time. As a planning instrument for Faculty 67, Grün and Gruga, this is intended to present clear ideas for the future development of an open space system and to ensure sufficient open space supply as well as continuity in open space.
The GRC is to be coordinated within the administration and decided by the Council of the City of Essen.
The present tender includes the preparation of the green space and open space development concept.
