2022年欧洲城市公共空间奖评审委员会日前宣布，将最终大奖授予由荷兰OKRA景观事务所担纲设计的乌特勒支Catharijnesingel运河修复项目。评审团成员认为，运河的重建以及沿河两岸线性公园的修复，提供了一个在新气候时代下，通过干预来保证我们的城市持续生存的示范性案例。

由巴塞罗那当代文化中心（CCCB）发起的第11届欧洲城市公共空间奖项，其参赛人数在今年创下新高，并且展现了广泛的代表性：来自35个国家的参赛者共计提交了326个项目。本届比赛的作品凸显了存在于欧洲不同城市的共同问题，并针对这些问题提出了一些解决方案。这在我们如今所处的后疫情时代背景下显得尤为重要：城市项目必须能够应对气候变化，并且以提高城市的宜居性为目标——这也是当下城市面临的核心问题。

An international jury has awarded the 2022 European Prize for Urban Public Space to the restoration of the Catharijnesingel canal in Utrecht (Netherlands), a project by the Dutch studio OKRA landschapsarchitecten. The jury considers that the reconstruction of the canal, as well as the recovery of a linear park running along its banks, is an exemplary intervention for the survival of our cities in this new climate era.

The 11th edition of the European Prize for Urban Public Space, an initiative of the Barcelona Contemporary Culture Centre (CCCB), has seen a record number of entrants and widespread representation: 326 projects were submitted, from 35 different countries. The works presented for this edition highlight the problems shared by distinct European cities, and some of the solutions that have been proposed to try to deal with them. This is particularly relevant in the present, post-pandemic context: urban projects must address climate change and aim to make cities more liveable places, something that has become a central issue.

运河对于建立城市的恢复能力有着至关重要的作用：它将提高乌特勒支应对极端高温、风暴和洪水的能力，水和植物的恢复也将有助于碳的捕获和污染的降低。对于城市居民来说，运河成为了一处令人向往且充满乐趣的目的地，与此同时，它也为其他生物创造了新的栖息地。

The canal is crucial for building urban resilience in the city: it is increasing Utrecht’s capacity to deal with extreme heat, storms and flooding, and the recovery of water and plant life helps capture carbon and reduce pollution. The canal has become a desirable and playful place to be, for the city’s residents, and it has also created new habitats for other living beings.

评审团对该项目在更大范围城市转型中的作用给予了高度评价：它在为城市寻回历史元素的同时兼顾了对未来的考量。在过去的50多年，运河被一条大型公路所取代，如今终于得以恢复原貌。该项目不仅减少了机动车的交通，更重要的是它优先考虑了行人的通行、社交互动、地面的可渗透性以及生物多样性的提高。

The jury appreciates the fact that this intervention is part of a larger urban transformation, which looks to the future by bringing back elements from the city’s past. The canal has been returned to its original state, after having been replaced, for more than fifty years, by a large highway. This project not only diminishes motorised traffic, but, and more importantly, it prioritises pedestrian mobility and social interaction, as well as porous surfaces and a rich biodiversity. These aspects are what make our cities healthy, sustainable and enjoyable. With this prize, the jury commends and congratulates the client, teams and stakeholders: this project could inspire a new standard for sustainable urban regeneration.

该项目清除了Catharijnesingel大街上的机动车道并恢复了水上交通，同时提供自行车和步行路径，为城市培育了一个新的公共空间，展示了通过恢复水域及其生物多样性来重振城市品质的优秀案例。受到当地环境的启发，树木、植被、铺装材料和街道设施都经过了精心挑选，旨在与未来自然界的发展相适应。设计引入了一个天然且健康的微气候，能够在全球气候危机的背景下发挥重要作用。

The restoration of the Catharijnesingel removes vehicular traffic that occupied this street and brings back water to rewild a new public space for the city and make it accessible for cyclists and pedestrians. This project is an excellent example of revitalising the qualities of the city by means of recovering water and its biodiversity. Inspired by the environment, all the elements, including trees, vegetation, paving materials, and street furniture have been meticulously selected and envisage how nature will evolve in future. It introduces a new, natural, and healthy microclimate that will play an important role in the present situation of global climate crisis.
