Showcase for a green and sustainable future
BUGA 23 is a lot more than just a flower show: It will improve the sustainable quality of life and lifestyle in Mannheim. Over seven Kilometers long, a stretch of green, will create new places to walk, play and relax, at the same time improving the city’s air quality and climate. BUGA is also part of Mannheim’s North East Green Corridor Project, connecting 230 hectares of green areas forming a corridor stretching into the city centre. One major highlight will be a 2 km long (funicular) overhead cable car system spanning the river Neckar, and connecting Luisenpark with the new BUGA-Grounds. The exhibition concept locates the four leading themes Climate, Environment, Energy and Food on the two locations Spinelli-Park and Luisenpark and integrates the Mannheim specific and innovative exhibition content. Spinelli is going to be the experimental place for local and future innovation, which is being connected with the cable car to the old green heart of the city Luisenpark.
A Transformative expo concept
Bright prospects: Creating a healthy environment for Mannheim’s future, climate-neutral in harmony with the natural environment. BUGA 23 is an innovative experimental field for living together in the city sustainably. It complies with the UN Sustainability goals which are incorporated in Mannheim’s mission statement for 2030. Solutions to problems and challenges of our time will be explored relating to climate, the environment, sustainable agricultural production and food security.
“I think the choice of NorthernLight for the exhibition concept is a good decision, because here design, planning and implementation are considered together. The agency works in the spirit of the times and derives exciting visions for visitors from this – and above all with regard to the environment, climate protection and the use of natural resources. In this concept, the BUGA 23 in Mannheim shows solutions and creates space for experiments,” explains Jochen Sandner, Managing Director of the German Federal Horticultural Society (DBG) in Bonn.
Exciting visions, surprising ideas
“It was important to us at NorthernLight to create a new kind of experience for the visitors for the most sustainable BUGA by embedding smart future concepts in the gardens and landscapes presented,” emphasizes Peter Slavenburg, co-founder and director of NorthernLight. “We attached particular importance to the connection between Mannheim as an innovative city of the future and the beauty of horticultural content. This creates a showcase for a green and sustainable future.”
