Name	Green on the traintracks
Location	Station of Arnhem
Country	The Netherlands
Author	Hanneke Louws

Rationale: Why is this case interesting?

On the photos you can see a traintrack which is NOT green. I think that is a problem and a missed chance. Stations are always very urban and it doesn't have to be that way. This case relates to my life because I travel a lot by train, so I often look at those grey and dull traintracks.

Author's perspective

The choiche for documenting this case is related to the perspective of Olaf Kuhne. He inspired me to look for ways to add postmodernal landscapes and try to change perspectives of how and where planting designs should be. I to make parts of the city more green, espesially the parts which are used a lot. This way people see more green and this reacts on behaviour and healt.

Landscape and/or urban context of your case

The context of this case is urban area, a station containing walking routes and train routes. The station is recently modernized.
