Green infrastructure strategy

The regional strategy for green infrastructure is to be established as an informal, planning basis for the further development of green infrastructure in the Ruhr area. The GI strategy is intended to achieve the further development of the Ruhr area into the 'greenest industrial region in Europe' in a participatory development process. The strategy leads to the implementation and (further) development of targeted activities and projects that are supported by all those involved. In doing so, an optimal balance is achieved between individual interests and the common good and a clear added value is achieved for the region. In addition to the regional identity of the residents of the Ruhr area, 'the greenest industrial region in Europe' is also perceived as such by outsiders.
