The former Shell grounds in Vlaardingen will be redeveloped to create the CO2 neutral lifestyle park Vijsluizen. The grounds, with excellent public transport connections, seem to be cut out for a lifestyle park that comprises offices, a large public park, restaurants, shops, a hotel and other facilities. The built-up areas will all be located on the borders of the park, while at the same time it will function as a noise barrier that blocks out the sound from the adjacent highway. The heart of the park, with its English Landscape garden and its sports palace dating back to the nineteen fifties, will be preserved and will remain accessible to visitors. The existing water surface will be enlarged, and will serve as a reservoir for the new buildings. These and other techniques will contribute to an extremely balanced ecological system. Vijfsluizen can be regarded as a pilot project: never before have environmentally friendly and sustainable techniques like these been used on such a large scale in Europe.
