Essen: Germany's 'ugly duckling' city success (by Norman Miller)
Thanks to an innovative approach, the Germany city has catapulted from an industrial wasteland to one of
Europe’s greened cities.
Located in the heart of western Germany's long-time industrial Ruhr region, the city of Essen spent much of
the past 150 years marred by pollution, tainted by filthy mines and belching factories and lined by poisoned
waterways. In just one year in the 1960s, a study noted that some 1.5 million tons of toxic dust, ashes and soot
rained down on Essen's inhabitants, along with four million tons of sulphur dioxide. But a remarkable transformation
has seen Essen go from being Germany's ugly duckling to one of Europe's greenest cities.
"Green urban development has acted as a driving force in Essen over the last decade," explained Simone
Raskob, who helped oversee Essen's transformation through a mix of so-called Blue Green solutions: "Blue" for
water-focused initiatives, and "Green" for land-based projects. This two-pronged approach helped catapult Essen
to be declared the European Green Capital for 2017.
Essen's most high-profile project is the transformation of the Zollverein industrial complex – once the
world's largest coal and coke production facility – from toxin-spewing industrial blackspot to an inspiring eco-park
granted Unesco World Heritage status. Inside its giant former coal washing building, the impressive Ruhr Museum
enthrals visitors with displays on the site's history and transformation between towering old machinery. A short walk
away, the Red Dot Design Museum showcases examples of innovative global design in a former boiler house
building repurposed by renowned architect Norman Foster. Ever since mining at Zollverein and the surrounding
region ended in the late 1980s, woodland has spread across the vast site, and its trail-laced expanses are now
home to more than 800 animal and plant species.
Yet, Essen isn't resting on its green laurels and is continuing to add eco-friendly initiatives. A 100km cycling
'super-highway’ is slowly taking shape atop old industrial railways. A string of nature-walking trails have also been
created in and around the city to help boost local engagement with – and appreciation of – natural habitats. All the
trails are easily accessible by public transport.
Among the city's many transformations are the creation of lakes and ponds by harvesting rainwater. But
perhaps the toughest of Essen's solutions involved restoring the River Emscher, considered a biologically dead
"open sewer" since the end of the 19th Century, thanks to the dumping of mining and factory slurry and waste
water. After a two-decade clean-up programme, trout once again returned to the rejuvenated river in 2015. A recent
count found more than 1,000 fish and animal species living along the Emscher, including previously endangered
lapwings, kingfishers and beavers.
Though humans aren't yet encouraged to join the trout in the Emscher, an arena for swimming and boating
hums with activity at Lake Baldeney, a broad expanse of water created behind a 9m dam on the similarly cleanedup Ruhr river. When swimmers splashed here back in 2017, it was the first time bathing had been officially allowed
there for 46 years.
From German eyesore to proud green city, Essen's green-and-blue approach isn't just benefitting outdoor
enthusiasts and the environment but is also providing a shining example of how other cities can look to their
industrial past to embrace a cleaner future.

How long will you live?
Everyone wants to live a long and healthy life. Today, many
scientists are trying to find the habits that help people live
longer. In 1970, some scientists talked to 7,000 people in the
United States and got information about ___________ habits.
Then they checked to see how long the people lived.
The scientists learned that the people with the longest
lives did seven things. (1) They ate breakfast every day. (2) They
didn’t eat snacks between meals. (3) They weren’t too heavy or
too thin. (4) They exercised regularly. (5) They slept seven to
eight hours every night not more, and not less. (6) They didn’t
smoke. (7) They didn’t drink more than two alcoholic drinks per
day.
These were the habits that made a big difference. People
who did all of these things lived 12 years longer than people
who did only one to three of the things.
Scientists say that you should change your habits slowly.
Make one small change every week. You need about 21 days to
make a new habit.
