The approach of several contestants this
year to their landscape and green space strategies has been
to let the landscape determine the direction of development,
rather than carrying out the development and then
landscaping the area afterwards.
The starting point for this community,
winners of the criteria, was a stark industrial landscape.
Their approach has been to consider a total green space
system along with their natural landscape. They incorporated
bio-diversity, urban amenity and highly accessible
recreation experiences through trails, recreation parks and
squares.
The result is a truly remarkable
transformation from a landscape of steel mills to verdant,
highly-functional open public spaces.
The Winner of the Enhancement of the
Landscape Criteria at the 2006 LiveCom Awards is:
Muskiz, Spain
