Der Emscher Landschaftspark ist, auch im internationalen Vergleich, das bedeutendste Projekt einer landschaftlichen Revitalisierung einer ehemaligen Industrieregion. Mit seinen 450 km² umfasst der Emscher Landschaftspark einen wesentlichen Teil des Ruhrgebietes, Kulturhauptstadt Europas 2010. Bemerkenswert ist die Vielfalt der gebauten Projekte und das Niveau der beteiligen Akteure, unter ihnen Peter Latz, Norman Foster, Jörg Schlaich, Frei Otto, Rem Koolhaas, Henri Bava, Michel Desvigne, Richard Serra und viele andere. Die rund 30 wichtigsten Parks und Landmarken, Zechen und Halden, Brücken und Wege sowie künstlerische Installationen sind Teile einer umfassenden Landschaftsgestaltung, die hier in Essays renommierter Autoren sowie Projektporträts vorgestellt wird.
