The former Roto Smeets printing works site in Deventer will become a new, vibrant, green urban district. The design for the public space will embrace the past and add values such as climate adaptation, nature inclusiveness and strengthening biodiversity, to make the transformation future-proof. The presence of greenery and thoughtful water management will make this neighborhood resistant to climate change. The use of all seven types of plantings of food forests will transform this stony area into a fertile and biodiverse neighborhood, with a layered green structure. 08-08-2022
