Rationale

• Nürtingen is a small but important service and economic center in the metropolitan region of Stuttgart, based in Baden Wurttemberg province. The city has developed over the course of the years by the Neckar river, the Rhine tributary, which brings Neckar to an important role of the human society and needs.
• The aspects that were and still are challenging consider the naturality of the river, the floodplains by the settlements, and taking care of the biodiversity. The main goal is to use existing Blue-green infrastructures and restore the local waterbodies like cricks, wetlands, the river Neckar, and its tributaries to reduce flooding risks to adjacent neighborhoods while simultaneously supporting urban agricultural production and wildlife, in addition, to provide recreational benefits to the surrounding community.

Sacred spaces and heritage

• Nürtingen is a city dating back to the 6th and 7th centuries and with this there are many places and elements of historical value in it, especially in the central part of the city. The central part of the city is located a little bit above the normal level, on a hilltop, which makes this area more historically valuable since every building has survived floods that were happening in the past years. This place a huge role for the identity of the city, bringing it more value to the locals as well as to tourists.

• Some of these historic sites: City Church of Saint Laurentius (Laurentiuskiche): Laurentius is located on a hill by the river Neckar and this is a landmark that dominates the town of Nürtingen. Dedicated to St. Laurentius (St. Lawrence),the original church was probably built in the 10th or 11th century, Historical Old Town: The location of the old town center of Nürtingen on the hill, as mentioned above, overlooking the Neckar Valley, with a far-reaching view over the surrounding countryside and a dominant position over the Neckar crossing, indicates that the original site was of strategic importance, The Town Hall (Bürgeramt), The Museum of Nürtingen (Stadtmuseum) and etc.

Community Mapping

What is to be mapped here?

• Social groups from within the community, for example the youth, kids, students, parents, the retired etc. Typically, these groups have specific needs, which you can also make explicit on the map. These people might not be organized in any way, but they are usually present in the context you are observing
• Local stakeholder groups: these groups are organized in one or the other way. They only exist within the community context you are observing. For example: the local community center, local churches, local interest groups, the landowners, small businesses and retailers
• External stakeholder groups are not necessarily present in the environment you are observing, but they may have strong stakes and interests. These can be local authorities, politicians, associations, care services etc.
• For each group, you may identify their needs, objectives, power and capacities
• You may also identify gaps and power conflicts
• Please try to redepict these elements in an integrated way and in relation to your water landscape. What is the relationship between these groups? Are they close or distanced from each other? Who is more powerful? Which voices are hardly heard? Do they have any shared concerns?
