Hamburg is green: parks and open spaces, street trees, squares and green riverbanks are an important part of the townscape. Such recreational havens can even be found right in the city centre. Green in combination with the omnipresent water characterizes the city’s atmosphere. This might surprise visitors, and citizens value it as a quality of life. We devote much effort to maintaining this quality, by reducing the footprint of developments, by designing new parks or by looking after our street trees. Hamburg’s unique geographical location at the bifurcation of the Elbe, and the influence of this tidal river have created habitats with huge biodiversity. Bogs and floodplains in the river valleys remained largely intact, because they were deemed unsuitable for development for a long time. Moors and woodland are situated in northern and southern parts of the town. This valuable natural heritage is specially protected for future generations to enjoy: Eight percent of Hamburg’s total area are designated nature reserves. This is more than in any other German federal state – and we still hope to designate further areas. With this paperback we intend to bring Hamburg’s green face closer to you: the traditional, well-known parks, such as Planten un Blomen and the Stadtpark; the many lesser-known parks and open spaces, which await to be discovered; and the nature reserves with their varied plants, wildlife and landscapes. Finally we wish to give you an impression of what is to come. As the city evolves, so shall the green spaces grow. One example of this future vision is the new large park on the island Wilhelmsburg that will emerge from the international garden show 2013. Enjoy reading about and discovering Hamburg’s green face!
