科罗拉多州的珍贵财富:美国25号州际公路廊道保护总体规划

A COLORADO LEGACY: INTERSTATE 25 CONSERVATION CORRIDOR MASTER PLAN

美国25号州际公路在科罗拉多-怀俄明两州交界处向南延伸至科罗拉多斯普林斯一段,走向与科罗拉多州的弗兰特山脉平行-那里拥有世界上最壮美的景致。但同时,这里也曾是美国一处发展迅猛的地区,开发建设不断改变着当地的天际线,影响着风景品质。科罗拉多州自然保护信托基金会与Design Workshop设计事务所展开合作,启动了25号州际公路廊道保护总体规划项目,鼓励各个保护组织、政府机构、私人土地所有者和当地居民参与到公共开放土地的保护工作中,以实现对眺望景观、水质、野生动物、空气及休闲空间的永久保护。该规划旨在为当地无节制的扩张建设提供解决方案,利用独特的规划方法和适度开发策略,来实现曾经被认为是遥不可及的目标:保护科罗拉多州弗兰特山脉周边超过405km^2的开放空间。

Colorado’s Front Range runs parallel to Interstate25 from the Wyoming border to the Colorado Springs, offering some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. This area of the United States was growing fast and development and construction continued to change the skyline.Colorado Conservation Trust Fund, in collaboration with Design Workshop Inc., initiated the Interstate25 Conservation Corridor Master Plan to engage conservation organizations, government entities,private landowners, and residents in conserving open lands to forever protect scenic vistas,water quality, wildlife, clean air, and recreational opportunities along the corridor. Devised to offer solutions to the surrounding uncontrolled sprawl,the plan leveraged unique planning methods and limited development strategies to achieve what had been previously considered impossible: the preservation of over 100,000 acres of open space along Colorado’s Front Range.
