"Although presented to be ‘productive’ and guided by systems thinking on landscape, water, waste, energy and mobility, the project does not see the territory as a productive machine but rather as a productive landscape which, at the same time, functions as a park for people. The envisioned ‘Productive Park’ forms a multi-layered framework for the urban territory, to which activities, programs and institutions can be attached. […] The stretch for a productive park is in that sense […] a window of opportunities that the landscape offers to construct, to produce, a new kind of urbanity that is gratefully and respectfully making use of the resourcefulness of the territory."
