Leutschenpark is a public park in the northern Zürich neighbourhood of Leutschenbach. As the main park, the 161,459 ft² Leutschenpark and its flowing shapes bring a new accent to the district which was previously characterized by industry and service buildings. The former industrial and commercial district to the north of Zürich is being transformed into an attractive, mixed neighbourhood for living and working.〔City of Zurich: Directive of the city council to the municipal council (GR Nr. 2005/162). Neubau Park im Leutschenbach/Seebach, Netto-Objektkredit, 20th of April 2005.〕 This also includes first-class open spaces. The park compromises elements of a traditional city park and an urban square.〔(Leutschenpark ) at the website of Grün Stadt Zürich〕 ==Development== After the partial departure of industry and commerce, the industrial area of Leutschenbach should have become an attractive, mixed, and lively neighbourhood for living and working. However, the neighbourhood had urban planning deficits and an inadequately developed network. In 1998, a development process was started on the initiative of the landowners. The aim of the development mission statement was to create a lively neighbourhood with a first-class system of open areas. This formed the basis for the revaluation of the open space in Leutschenbach and the prerequisite for the realization of the Leutschenpark. In 2002, a competition was held by the City of Zurich to design the Leutschenpark and the Leutschenbachstrasse. The jury selected the top-rated project from the team Dipol Landscape Architects, Basel / Christopher T. Hunziker, Zurich for further processing.〔(Structural Engineering Department of Zurich )〕 In 2008, the park was inaugurated as part of the Nordfest. A referendum was held to decide on a building loan of 13 million francs for the construction of the park and 22 million francs for the formal transfer of the value of the land from the city financial assets to administrative assets. Private landowners contributed approximately 5 million francs to the total costs. The Glattalbahn light railway company started construction of Glattparkstrasse to relieve Hagenholzstrasse and Thurgauerstrasse. This freed Leutschenbachstrasse from through traffic and converted it to an access road with a boulevard character. The avenue of Paulownia trees and the revitalization of the Leutschenbach stream provide this distinctive character. An open area has been created above the new clarification tanks before the confluence of the Riedgraben. Outside of the city limits, but still in the Leutschenbach catchment area, a large park area has been created with the Opfikerpark in the new neighbourhood Glattpark. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leutschenpark」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
