But the future of the areaupstream, above the falls of St. Anthony, remains to bedetermined. There are official visions, but also wavering,low rumblings of discontent on all sides: industry

6、versusparks, jobs versus nature, current use versus best use,and economic realities versus ecological realities. Is it avibrant, green future or merely a mirage?Like the song still echoing up from the delta says, the Riverkeeps rolling along. To the River, our interventions, fromthe prairie burning

7、by native peoples, to the construction ofspillways and locks, are only temporary modifications. TheRiver will have its way, moving its course from side to side,up in flood and down in drought. The River is resilient. Itwill bounce back. It has bounced back, from a fetid sewerto a place that supports

8、 beaver, fox, otter, sturgeon, andmussels again: right in the city!Our design approach celebrates the Resilient River; webelieve in the power of nature to heal, and the relevanceof the River in the life of the people of Minneapolis. Wetake the long view, and see that changes in industry alongthe ban

9、ks have happened before, driven by the marketbut also by the guiding hand of public policy and theaspirations of the Rivers citizens. While we recognize therole of industry, and in many cases are enthralled by thescale of its work along the banks, we also remain steadfastin our belief that this land

10、scape is worthy of respect, evenreverence, and protection from harm.Our purpose then is to aid in healing the riverfront as aplace of critical ecological importance, as well as a placefor working and living. Where the River has been an excusefor dividing neighborhoods and peoples, we desire a placew

11、here people can come together. We concur with the viewthat parks can create new value on adjacent lands, butalso propose that a new ecology of parks is necessarythat makes productive use of the rich riverfront lands and waters, as well as the people on its shores.INTRODUCTIONChallenges to our famili

12、es and communities are global, yetwe propose that the area above the falls is a place to take a stand for a new economy that values local production,urban agriculture, self-sustaining energy, art, sociability,and the people of northern Minneapolis and the region asa whole. The scale of this undertak

13、ing is huge, and time forchange is running out. Our vision is of the Upper Riverfrontas prototype for a new relationship, a smarter relationshipbetween the people of Minneapolis and their river, whichcan inform a way of living within nature, across the city andregion.We have real experience from the

14、 past of using the powerof the River in a sustainable way, breaking the hard wheatof the north with only the falling of water, and even now turning that motion into electricity. Our design is presentedin that spirit and with a belief in the River itself to steadyour minds, fill our hearts, and steel

15、 our resolve for thechallenges before us.We are living in a problematic 21st Century. We faceclimate change and a degraded environment, an uncertaineconomy and social inequality, cultural conflict and a lossof local identity; and yet.We can make this a 21st Century of change andreinvention! Old valu

16、es have to be reevaluated. New ethics and new aesthetics have to be invented. Andmost importantly, new solutions have to be, and canbe, implemented, so we can build on the foundationsof previous generations, a more healthy and beautifulMinneapolis.Our mission is to complete and renew the Minneapolis

17、park system vision based on our understanding of newchallenges, new knowledge, and new technologies, torecover the full potential of the Upper Riverfront and giveit back to the city. We will make full use of the landscapeas a productive, ecological infrastructure for enhancingsocial equality, genera

19、f our generation? Specifically, what can we do on the Upper Riverfront and in the surrounding communities to rebuild a healthy ecosystem and revalue the park system for its productive potential? How can we adapt to global climate change? How can we discover a new aesthetic that reflects and foresees

20、 a lifestyle in which cultural and human processes adapt to and mediate the changing environment?SOCIaL EqUITyThe communities of the Upper Riverfront, especially North Minneapolis, are dramatically underserved in terms of access to parkland and other amenities. This inequity compounds and exacerbate

21、s other social challenges. How can our work help create a healthier and more equal society? How can a landscape resource that belongs to North Minneapolis and Northeast become a destination for the whole city, the way the resources of the rest of the city are recognized and enjoyed by all?VIbRaNT EC

22、ONOMyThe Mississippi River has always been a potent source of economic activity and vitality. In its current state, however, the River is not reaching its potential. The Upper Riverfront is lined with uses that do not provide value equal to their majestic location, including many uses that dont requ

23、ire river access. How can we foster new industries and new economies in a resurgent river corridor? How can investments in the River catalyze broader economic activity and attract the businesses of the future?aUTHENTIC CULTURaL IDENTITyMinneapolis has a rich history and diverse cultural influences.

24、A thread linking generations is the relationship to the Mississippi River. This was an important destination and conduit for native peoples. It was the reason for European exploration and settlement with the rise of the fur trade, lumber milling, and grain industries. As Minneapolis has attracted an

25、 increasingly diverse population, can the River play a part in bringing contemporary citizens together? Can the “City of Lakes” become the “City of the River” again?FOUR CHaLLENgES FOR THE UPPER RIVER aND bEyONDA strong city park system is rooted in robust and resilient nature. We will strategically

26、 identify natural assets to design an ecological infrastructure network that protects and enhances critical natural and cultural processes. By growing this ecological infrastructure, the full range ofecosystem services can be secured for future generations. We canintegrate sustainable transportation

27、, natural stormwater management, urban agriculture, and other green infrastructure into this network to see Minneapolis through the environmental challenges that lie ahead.THREE STRaTEgIES FOR THE RESILIENT RIVERAs ecological infrastructure grows, we can begin to restructure and reorient the city ar

28、ound the Rivers natural assets. Smart cities areinvesting in human capital - schools and housing, jobs and research, art and commerce. The smartest cities are leveraging these investments as strategic placemaking to improve economic stability, social justice, and cultural identity. We can use the gr

29、een network to vibrate the city so that all facets of the community are stimulated, providing opportunities for new lifestyles and a healthier society.Minneapolis has a history ofestablishing long-term visions and then sticking to them, even when near-term political and economic realities require in

30、crementalimplementation. Generations of civic leaders have understood that land use and architecture will change, but the intrinsic landscape itself is an enduring asset. Our planning and design approaches must bestrategically conceived to work within present-day realities while catalyzing a 50-year

CURaTE THE VISION THROUgH TIMEA vibrant, green future for Minneapolis requires that we protect the natural assets that sustain healthy

32、 urban living.Taking a strategic conservation approach, patterns emerge that offer the most effective protection in a given landscape. We call these “security patterns” to call attention to the critical role that a citys ecological infrastructure network plays in safeguarding our future. Vertically,

33、 we might envision this network from a stack of interdependent layers that protect hydrological and biological processes, as well as cultural heritage. Horizontally, we might envision this network like a tree, with the River as its trunk, branches of green linking the river to the urban fabric, and

34、the specific sites and features of the community as its twigs and leaves.ecological security patternecological infrastructure networkwater security patternbiological security pattern cultural security patternvernacular cultural assetsexisting land-usewildlife corridorsnatural patchessurface flow ana

The Mississippi is an internationally significant flyway for migrating birds. Many fish and other wildlife species make their way

39、every day along this critical ecological pathway. We have studied the rhythms of key species, both local and migratory, to establish a palette of native plants and rustic crops that provide food and cover for these birds, fish, and other wildlife.1. bUILD aN ECOLOgICaL INFRaSTRUCTUREb.
