Tegelen Town Centre
In what way can we boost the attractiveness and recreational function of Tegelen town centre by adding greenery?
The vision offers a number of strategic locations where a beacon, marking, or place to rest could be placed:
On the Wilhelminaplein square next to the ‘Martinuskerk’ (St. Martin’s Church), one end of the Kerkstraat nearby, as important shopping street.
On the square in front of the ‘Raadhuis’ (former town hall), the other end of the Kerkstraat nearby, as important shopping street.
The entrance of the shopping street, as seen from the ‘Raadhuis’.
The small square halfway on the shopping street, as a stepping stone location.
Making a connection the ‘DNA of Tegelen’. Tegelen has been known for its ceramics production (mostly roof tiles and pottery) for many centuries.
Attention for ‘storytelling’: how to shape the ‘journey’ a visitor to the town centre of Tegelen makes?
The location around the ‘Oude Raadhuis’ (Old Town Hall) will be changing mid-2022 with the addition of 2 new supermarkets (Jan Linders and Aldi) and 21 apartments. It’s a good reason to also tackle the change of the public space there.
