The Ruhr area – European Capital of Culture RUHR.2010 and one of Europe’s major agglomerations with and industrial history – is, just like every ordinary metropolitan area, deeply rooted in a cultural landscape. Here, cultural landscape, urban agriculture and forestry are under enormous pressure of finding innovative and effective ways of using their resources. With the European Capital of Culture project “Two Hills, One Landscape”, advanced landscape architects, farmers and foresters transcend the limits of their disciplines. Between Mechtenberg Hill and Rheinelbe Tip, they embark on new ventures in the field of “Venustas and Utilitas”, of beauty and usefulness.
