这个城市中心有一个广场,道路放射状与周边相连,此外还有一条循环环路串起主要的5
个区域,这些区域主题都是欧洲各区的旅游。环路的行道树具有标示性,北方是桦树,松
树在东部,南部是棕榈树,西部是法国梧桐,城市中的自行车和电动公共交通工具可以让
游客充分领略城市魅力,在城市明晰的规划中用自己方式放心的前进或迷失。 欧洲城具有封闭的城市生态系统,最大限度的利用回收资源,游泳池和水疗中心的余热可
加热娱乐设施,中水用于种植灌溉。利用太阳能,风能,地热能发电。利用各种可持续能
源技术将绿色环保理念执行,节约能源,提高城市环境质量。

uropaCity will offer on an unprecedented scale a mix of retail, culture and leisure
around a defining theme: Europe, its diversity, its urban experiences and its cultures.
The site is exceptionally well connected: Locally as a main node on the Grand Paris
Express Metro, regionally as entrance gate to the metropolitan area of Ile de France
and internationally with its direct connection to the second largest airport in Europe. We
propose to integrate the new facility in the surrounding business district as an urban
form that combines dense city with open landscape, exploring the urban and green
potentials of the site at once. The programs of EuropaCity are organized along an internal circular avenue with a mix
of retail, entertainment and cultural programs on both sides. The avenue forms a loop
travelling through five different areas themed as the various regions of Europe,
becoming the Rambla, the Regent Street and the Champs Elysees of EuropaCity. Along
the avenue bicycles and electric public transport bring visitors around and a line of
trees transform gradually from Birches in the North, Pines in the east, palm trees in the
south and Platans in the west. The circular avenue creates a variety of spatial
experiences and a clear overview - It allows you to get lost, and still find your way. We propose to arrange the programs according to energy and resource use, in order to
maximize utilization of waste products within a closed urban eco system. Waste heat is
channeled from cooling plants into recreation facilities as swimming pools and spas.
Waste water is re-used as irrigation for the parks, and urban scale recycling facilities
minimize overall waste production. The five regions of Europe have a different ways of
harvesting renewable energy, from solar power to wind and geothermal energy.
EuropaCity becomes a laboratory for sustainable technologies, and a showcase for
viable green tech implementations that does not only save energy, but also improves
the quality of the urban environment.
