Catharijnesingel

历史与现代的完美融合：Catharijnesingel项目的核心在于其对历史文脉的尊重和巧妙利用。从12世纪的运河起源到20世纪的城市公路，项目的设计者敏锐地捕捉到了历史的脉络，并以此为基础进行创新。通过恢复历史运河，项目不仅恢复了城市的文化记忆，更创造了一个与过去、现在和未来紧密相连的城市景观。这种对历史的尊重，体现在设计中对Zocher公园风格的借鉴和延续，同时也融入了现代的生态考虑，使得项目在保留历史韵味的同时，焕发了新的活力。

以人为本，气候适应的城市更新：项目最令人瞩目的亮点在于其对以人为本和气候适应的城市设计理念的贯彻。Catharijnesingel的改造不仅仅是简单的修复，更是对城市中心功能的重新定义。通过优先考虑行人和慢行交通，绿地和生物多样性得以凸显，为市民创造了宜人的社交空间。同时，运河作为城市的气候适应骨干，通过科学分析和额外的干预措施，有效应对了气候变化带来的挑战。这种设计理念在乌得勒支市中心的城市更新中发挥着关键作用，提升了步行体验，减少了汽车交通，为城市的可持续发展奠定了基础。

协同合作，塑造示范项目：Catharijnesingel项目的成功离不开多方协同合作。市政当局、居民和景观设计师OKRA共同努力，最终实现了设计目标，呈现出令人赞叹的成果。该项目不仅获得了欧洲城市公共空间奖和Rietveldprijs奖，更成为了城市更新的示范项目。其影响远远超出了项目本身，成为了城市中更广泛的连接轴的一部分。通过该项目，我们可以看到在步行友好、气候适应和文化遗产保护方面的协同合作所能带来的巨大成就。这种合作模式和成果，为其他城市更新项目提供了宝贵的经验，也为未来城市建设指明了方向。

乌得勒支市中心的气候适应骨干

A climate-adaptive backbone for the centre of Utrecht
Restoration of the historic canal, envisioned as a catalyst for a healthy city

在20世纪，Catharijnesingel变成了Catharijnebaan：一条以沥青和混凝土为主的没有吸引力的城市公路。当有机会恢复这一发展时，我们借此机会将这一想法进一步推向其全部潜力。随着河水回流到历史悠久的运河地区，它将一条新的自然公园路线带到了荷兰最繁忙的地区之一。其结果是，城市景观与过去、现在和未来完全相连。
In the 20th century Catharijnesingel became Catharijnebaan: an unattractive urban highway dominated by asphalt and concrete. When offered the chance to revert that development, we took the opportunity to push the idea further to its full potential. As the water returned to the historic Canal area, it brought along a new natural park route right into one of the busiest areas in the Netherlands. The result was an urban landscape that was fully connected to the past, the present and the future.

Catharijnesingel的建成标志着修复城市运河20年项目的重大成就，超越了历史和生态保护。它象征着车站地区复兴的关键因素，将其转变为一个适合行人的绿色城市空间，完美地融合了新旧。此外，该项目在创建气候适应性城市中心、应对气候变化带来的挑战方面发挥着至关重要的作用。
The completion of Catharijnesingel marks a momentous achievement in the 20-year project to restore the city canal, going beyond historical and ecological preservation. It symbolizes a pivotal element in the revitalization of the station area, transforming it into a pedestrian-friendly, green urban space that beautifully blends old and new. Moreover, this project plays a crucial role in creating a climate-adaptive city centre, addressing the challenges posed by climate change.

丰富的历史-从12世纪到城市发展
Catharijnesingel的根源可以追溯到公元1122年乌得勒支获得城市权利的900年前。在此期间，一条5公里长的外运河被修建，在几个世纪以来的城市发展中发挥了重要作用。然而，在19世纪，随着对防御墙的需求减少，Jan David Zocher设计的一个公园建立在以前防御工事的一部分上。
A Rich History – From the 12th Century to Urban Development
The roots of Catharijnesingel trace back 900 years when Utrecht was granted city rights in 1122 AD. A five-kilometre-long outer canal was constructed during that time, playing a significant role in the city’s development over centuries. However, in the 19th century, as the need for defensive walls diminished, a park designed by Jan David Zocher was established on a portion of the former defensive works.

争议和恢复工作
1958年，由于Max Erich Feuchtinger提出的环形道路计划，汽车无障碍性的优先地位，Catharijnesingel的未来面临风险。尽管1969年为了修建城市高速公路，运河的一些部分被排干，但修复运动仍在继续。2002年的公民投票表明了公众对该项目的支持。
Controversy and Restoration Efforts
In 1958, the future of Catharijnesingel was at risk due to the prioritization of car accessibility, with plans for a ring road proposed by Max Erich Feuchtinger. Despite some parts of the canal being drained in 1969 for the construction of an urban motorway, the campaign for restoration persisted. A referendum in 2002 demonstrated public support for the project.

修复过程涉及市政当局、居民和OKRA的景观设计师之间的合作。由此产生的设计复兴了水道，同时在岸边创建了一个公园，灵感来自Zocher的风格和当代生态考虑。
The restoration process involved a collaborative effort between the municipality, the residents, and the landscape architects from OKRA. The resulting design revived the waterway while creating a park along the shore, inspired by Zocher’s style with contemporary ecological considerations.

创建健康城市——优先考虑行人和气候适应
“互联城市”的愿景旨在打破中心各部分之间的障碍，优先考虑行人，转向慢速交通方式。绿地和生物多样性占据中心地位，为市民创造了吸引人的社交互动空间。修复后的运河是市中心的气候适应骨干，通过全面分析确定了运河对气候问题的贡献，并提出了额外的干预措施。
Creating Healthy Cities – Prioritizing Pedestrians and Climate Adaptation
The vision for a “Connected City” aims to break down barriers between various parts of the centre, to prioritise pedestrians and shift to towards slow modes of transportation. Green spaces and biodiversity take central stage, creating inviting social interaction spaces for citizens. The restored canal acts as a climate-adaptive backbone for the city centre, with a comprehensive analysis identifying the canal’s contributions to climate issues and proposing additional interventions.

城市转型——提高步行能力和公共空间
乌得勒支市中心正在进行的城市更新工作侧重于提高步行能力，减少汽车交通，为骑自行车的人和行人创造更多空间。Catharijnesingel的设计精心融入了历史元素，同时融合了自然包容性和生态考虑。运河和公园提供了娱乐机会，有各种各样的树木和特色来吸引生物多样性。
Urban Transformation – Enhancing Walkability and Public Spaces
The ongoing urban renewal efforts in Utrecht’s city centre focus on enhancing walkability, reducing car traffic, and creating more space for cyclists and pedestrians. The design of Catharijnesingel carefully incorporates historical elements while integrating nature-inclusivity and ecological considerations. The canal and park offer recreational opportunities, with a variety of trees and features to attract biodiversity.

展示项目-奖项和认可
Catharijnesingel是一个展示项目，获得了欧洲城市公共空间奖和乌特勒支地区最佳建筑项目Rietveldprijs奖。此次修复的影响超出了其周围环境，成为城市中更广泛的连接轴的一部分，体现了在步行、气候适应和文化遗产修复方面的合作
Catharijnesingel的成功在于它能够连接历史、生态和城市发展，为乌得勒支珍贵的地区注入新的活力，同时为未来营造一个充满活力和可持续的城市环境。
