ELYPS Landscape + Urban Design: Europe’s longest sustainable waterretention-promenade: In the south of Luxembourg, Europe, an industrial area, in earlier days used by the steel industry, is being transformed into an attractive working and living environment.

Water-retention Boulevard, Luxembourg

Ecology and urban development

随着城市的发展，通过地下管道输送所有雨水的系统已经达到了极限，至少在这个特定地区是如此。需要一种替代性的水概念，以实现一致和可持续的水管理。我也很清楚，城市发展必须与生态连续性相结合。
With urban development the system of transporting all the stormwater through underground pipes has reached it limits, at least it did in this specific area. An alternative water-concept was needed to have a consistant and sustainable water-management. It was l clear as well that the urban development had to be combined with ecological continuity.

Water-Concept Re-use and Visibility

为了保持水分，已经制作了26个欧洲橡树杆的防水屏障。因此，在小溪中形成不同的水位，使其成为绿色的“保水楼梯”，在暴雨期间，水的运输速度将减慢。以这种方式防止下游水系统过载。
For water-retention 26 water-barriers of European oak poles have been made. Thus creating in the creek different water-levels, making it a green ‘water-retention-stairway’, where the speed of the water-transport will be slowed down in periods of heavy rainfall. And preventing in this way an overload of the water-system downstream.

The Promenade

沿着挡水楼梯，修建了一条行人和自行车长廊，以自然方式连接现场的所有生活、工作和购物区。它不仅是负责场地内可达性的主干，自行车长廊也是国家自行车道路线中的一个重要节点。
Alongside from the water-retention-stairway a pedestrian and cyclist promenade has been made to connect all living, working and shopping areas of the site in a natural way. It is not only the backbone taking care of the accessibility within the site, the cyclist promenade is as well an important joint in the national cycle-path routing.

The bridges, benches and platforms

The bridges have a robust design, matching the proportions of the boulevard and are made of local, European oak combined with steel.
