Comparative Analysis

Maybe deciduous trees inhabit in the gap area
Flood risk area and Vegetation loss area , Is not overlapping In the summer.
However, in winter It’s overlapping
Deciduous trees area are vulnerable to flood risk

Conclusion –
▪ Loss of vegetation in recent years.
▪ Overall Reduction of density of vegetation in recent years.
▪ Major reduction of density in Farmland layer.

SWOTAnalysis Map
Very stable topography.
Habitat patch connectivity.
9% largest catchment in Urban area.
79.4% in cropland
More green spaces on peripheral boundaries of Duisburg.
Sustainable development -The landscape park Duisburg-Nordconversion of brown field (former industrial areas into leisure park).
City has parking for the residents car.
The highways are connected well to the other big cities in the vicinity of the Duisburg. The city has cycling paths which are beneficial for the inner city traveling.
Low water levels lead to transportation disruptions that cause a significant and economically meaningful decrease of industrial production. (Ademmer, Ed, 2020)
Ecological connectivity needs improvement
Loss of aluvial flood planes, causes issues.
Less vegetation in city center.
Increased urbanization.
The traffic conjunctions is a problem during traffic jam times for local people. Most of the people use their own cars instead of the public transportation.
Create more green spaces in city center Create more green spaces in city center
Railways connected to the other major cities in Germany. Thus, people can use it during weekends and holidays to travel to other cities.
River side can be a sidewalk and cycling paths for the residents.
Flooding in winter, as water can not seep into the frozen ground
One of the 14 large cities in the lower rhine
Loss of habitat
Flooding and other climate change issues
City has less parking parking spaces for people during weekends and weekdays, when all local people and tourists are in the street. The city has many bus and train stations but it is needed to have public transportation like bus stations in the border of the city.

DUISBURG GUIDELINES
INTRODUCTION
Duisburg is the only city of the Rhine-Ruhr region lying on both the Rhine and Ruhr rivers.The city spreads along both sides of these rivers. The main issues we found are the vegetation loss, flood risks and traffic orientated urban area.
Therefore, we are aiming to enhance the ecological environment based solutions on our researches.
MAIN FOCUS
Improve ecological environment
Replacement of car lane with public transportation
Creating a water catchment area
