Measures to enhance the attractiveness of the city center through the reactivation of disused areas are part of the gentle transformation of our cities into more human-friendly and sustainable places.
The small City Garden designed by 3deluxe is not merely about beautifying a disused space. It serves as a green refuge in the heart of the city, creating new habitats and opportunities for active participation while simultaneously improving the urban climate.
In the City Garden, a space for communal gardening and appreciation of nature is created. Simultaneously, it acts as an inspiring platform for intercultural dialogue, creativity, and shared experiences. Workshops, cultural events, and artistic contributions foster a vibrant atmosphere, allowing people of different ages, cultural backgrounds, and social diversity to come together and collaborate productively.
Visitors experience joyful moments of learning and cultural exchange while gardening in the City Garden. Activities such as planting, tending to plants, and harvesting are ideal for achieving a common goal without the need for verbal communication. This fosters neighborhood bonds, social cohesion, and a sense of connection without language barriers.
Another objective is to reclaim areas for nature. Previously unused or neglected spaces are transformed into green oases. Planting and designing these areas create new habitats for insects and birds, promoting biodiversity and supporting ecological balance in the city.
The City Garden also provides space for groups such as school classes interested in hosting workshops and outdoor activities. Through hands-on experiences in the garden, students gain direct knowledge of nature and develop an awareness of environmental and sustainability issues. Practicing responsibility in the garden, they learn the importance of natural resources.
Overall, the City Garden offers people a place to find peace and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of city life. As a green oasis, it invites individuals to retreat, unwind, and simply enjoy the beauty of nature.
