“In 2027, the Ruhr region blossoms into the world’s greenest industrial landscape with IGA Metropole Ruhr 2027. Across cities—from Duisburg’s RhinePark to Dortmund’s repurposed coking plant—five visionary gardens emerge alongside revitalized parks and community green spaces. This decentralized garden festival unites innovation, ecology, and heritage
Highlights:
Future Gardens – Five immersive showcase gardens (e.g., Hansa coking plant park in Dortmund, Nordsternpark in Gelsenkirchen, and RheinPark in Duisburg) highlighting climate-friendly mobility, urban living, food production, and architecture.
Our Gardens – Upgrades to nearly 30 existing parks and green spaces, giving them new life as part of the urban garden network.
My Garden – A participatory movement inviting individuals, schools, and neighbourhoods to showcase their own green projects — from balcony gardens to community plots
