The RWN Areal will be a revitalizing, but also re-urbanizing and urban recycling project, in which solutions of an Urban Area can be discovered, combining work, living, and recreation. The development of the RWN Areal will offer a citizen-friendly environment with short distances that combine all parts of day-to-day life. The aim is to ultimately create a high-quality area, resilient and sustainable in its urban design features and safe and accessible for all people. (Less)
