What is "indeland"? indeland is a great idea full of fantasy, fun, nature, energy and perspectives. At the same time, it is a comprehensive development project for all areas of life. indeland stands for the careful ecological and economic modernization of a region full of history and history.
For decades, the landscape, the economy and the people in the indeland are characterized by lignite mining. With the end of lignite mining by 2030, flooding of the opencast mines will create Europe's largest lake landscape in the country. Landscape and infrastructure, culture and economy, research and industry, living, living and working in the region should be developed in an attractive and future-proof way.
This app will serve as a visual information carrier to accompany the change of the region with panoramic and VR presentations for young and old, private, scientific and economic interest groups.
// structural change
The cities and communities in indeland face the challenge of conceptually linking the upcoming structural change with the reaction to ongoing or expected changes in the framework conditions for local and regional development. For example, demographic change, (rural) economic structural change, mobility and climate change, and scarcity of resources - to name but a few. Because this is the way to live, to live, to work, to be mobile and to spend his free time to have a decisive influence.
// Strengths and weaknesses of the region
indeland benefits from the tremendously high location favorability in the triangle of the rheinischen upper centers Cologne, Duesseldorf / Moenchengladbach and Aachen as well as from the proximity to the Netherlands and Belgium. The space is good for a variety of people and relatively quickly accessible. However, the room is still unknown or negatively occupied. The unique selling point of the region is the lignite mine in Inden, which is active until 2030. On the one hand, this is an important economic factor as an employer. On the other hand, with the end of coal mining a significant break can be made both economically and socially. Through the recultivation process, a new landscape has been and continues to be designed. This offers excellent opportunities for the establishment of future-oriented agriculture, for attractive natural and recreational areas as well as related structures in industry, commerce and services. The interaction of the smaller, rural communities with the adjacent middle centers offers the opportunity to strengthen the sustainability and above all the economic function of the entire indeland. The potential of knowledge and technology transfer between the research institutions in Aachen and Jülich and the local / regional actors in education and business is to be exploited more than ever before.
// Landscape in transition
The economic, social and landscape structural change associated with (off) ongoing mining will be harnessed as a joint opportunity and strength for the region's sustainable future. The long-term mining character of spatial development gives rise to long-term advantages and future opportunities. In close cooperation with the mining operator, landscape and infrastructure-related restoration obligations are used as strategic impulses for the restructuring of the region. The focus is on sustainable resource-saving development, making extensive use of regional potentials for the supply of goods, energy and services in order to create an attractive living space for the people of the region. The changing framework conditions - demographic, economic, technological, climatic - offer the opportunity to actively shape this change in municipal cooperation. The goal is an attractive, lively and economically successful region.
