AMBITION<br />
Like a emerald necklace, the schmale Gera offers<br />
Ilvergehoven an arrangement of unique ecological<br />
spaces offering untold beauty and potentials to the<br />
residents and visitors of <strong>Erfurt</strong>. Unfortunately due to<br />
access limitations and encroachment issues, these<br />
rich ecological spaces remain hidden from the general<br />
public, yet seen in a sequence, these spaces formulate<br />
a network of <strong>Secret</strong> Gardens of sorts. The hope is to<br />
stimulate a creative but comprehensive development<br />
strategy to encourage short-medium-long term growth<br />
and development for derelict sites in-and-around<br />
Ilversgehoven.<br />

The Schmale Gera is the starting point in which to<br />
begin the development strategy. Despite it’s various<br />
ownerships this natural waterway provides rich potentials<br />
for connectivity, use and enhancement. The Schmale<br />
Gera is waiting to open up its river banks to the rich<br />
collection of green fields, wetlands, wooded areas,<br />
vegetable gardens, flower gardens ranging in scale,<br />
context, and conditions. <strong>Erfurt</strong> has “a secret garden”.<br />
This garden comes in all forms and sizes that units the<br />
Ilversgehoven village with its Wilhelmenian Housing and<br />
Industrial heritage.<br />

CULTIVATING THE SECRET GARDEN<br />
From the Schmale Gera in the south west to the<br />
Industrial Yards in the north east, the secret gardens<br />
are identified in the manner of ecological, horticultural,<br />
agricultural and industrial spaces. Ilversgehoven however<br />
is still inhabited by many derelict sites that require either<br />
immediate attention (with little investment) or deserve<br />
a long term development strategy to regenerate and<br />
revitalize the district. These low investment strategies<br />
promote new creative initiatives via agricultural<br />
landscapes, scale, connectivity, and use to re-colonize<br />
these underutilized areas.<br />

GROWING AMBITION:<br />
To encourage any future development in the area there<br />
must be a comprehensive strategy to stimulate growth.<br />
In combination with the enhancement initiatives along<br />
the Schmale Gera ‘<strong>Secret</strong> Garden(s)’ also proposes<br />
ideas to intensify some existing uses or suggest viable<br />
alternatives. These suggestions aim to transform the<br />
“waste lands” of Ilversgehoven into literally “productive<br />
land”. The resulting urban landscapes are both<br />
productive in use and public in nature. These landscapes<br />
create fresh concepts for future investment.<br />

FRUITS OF LABOR:<br />
The redevelopment of Ilversgehoven can start today.<br />
Beginning the ‘secret garden(s)’ initiative is as simple<br />
as planting a few seeds. The immediate investment for<br />
the re-development can literally be harvested with-in a<br />
year. By introducing <strong>Erfurt</strong> to the current trend of “Urban-<br />
Agriculture” we transform the site on Mittlerhausestraße<br />
into a working landscape that performs as an industrial<br />
garden for the general public while becoming an active<br />
/ productive landscape for the city. These types of<br />
initiatives can convince future investment opportunities<br />
once the areas target new fresh & trendy user groups.<br />

ACCOMODATING DIVERSITY:<br />
Other initiatives may require more time to develop such<br />
as planting trees, vineyards, or other natural ecosystems<br />
but the interim can be easily resolved by temporary<br />
functions like boarding animals, cultural events, or<br />
seasonal activities. This healthy mix of new amenities<br />
can help transform Ilversgehoven into a vibrant animated<br />
area. The new amenities should be as complementary<br />
as growing barley and hops next to a microbrewery, to<br />
a centre for healthy food care and shopping. Thinking<br />
more strategically with the proximity to the city centre, the<br />
kindergartens and start up media businesses, it becomes<br />
the natural place for companies to locate themselves.<br />
