梅赫伦梅兰河—河水回归城市

Mechelen Melaan—Water returns to the city

欧洲“历史城市的水资源”①的第一个项目在比利时梅赫伦市完成。梅兰河是从梅赫伦的旧城市中心凿掘而成，并经过新的景观修复，把水引到梅赫伦市的外围，让梅赫伦市重获新生，更有吸引力。水已成为城市改造的催化剂，我们通过完整的手法，以满足各方面的需要。

The first project for the European WIHCC①（Water in Historic City Centers） has been completed in Mechelen, Belgium. The Melaan has been excavated and newly landscaped in the old city centre of Mechelen. By bringing back water into the profile of the Mechelen, this place is given back its logic, and has become attractive and liveable once more. Water has become the catalyst of this urban development. Multiple aims are served by an integral approach： archaeology, mobility on land and on water, a tourist axis and the renewed city centre all form essential aspects of the deveIopment. A route line and a water line express the asymmetrical character of the place. A curved road trace delineates the scene, and the zone between the stream and the route over the Melaan is designed as a low quay to linger.
