story. Marot explains that as the visitor is able to experience "ambivalent readings of place," their memory will be sparked in new way, giving that place more depth (86). Marot finishes his book, Architecture and the Art of Memory, by insisting, "territories must be deepened" to provide places where memory can be fostered for cultural needs. Latz has worked to do this at Duisburg Nord in many ways (Weilacher, 102) and it has been declared as a highly successful cultural park (Steinglass, 129). Industrial nature Industrial brownfield sites (syn. industrial wastelands) form the backbone of urban biodiversity in the central Ruhr Region and are places for experiencing nature and for environmental education. In terms of its size, structural variety and biodiversity, the Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park occupies a prominent position. Its vegetation presents an almost complete spectrum of different development stages (succession stages) on diverse sites. These range from pioneer communities, tall herbaceous perennials and scrub formations to pioneer forests (industrial forest) and together produce an astonishing diversity of species. The Landscape Park is quite rightly considered a local hotspot for biodiversity in the western Ruhr Region. Furthermore, its industrial nature is of high ecological value because it contributes not only to the preservation of many rare and endangered species but also to the conservation of urbanised nature in the Ruhr Region’s conurbations. The Landscape Park contains this enormous species diversity because of its great variety of habitats. Besides the industrial technogenic soils around the former blast furnace site, the sinter plant, the mine and the cokery, it also includes agricultural soils at Ingenhammshof and Emstermannshof. The physiochemical properties of the soils are significantly different and so influence the species composition and plant ecology. The Biological Station has been involved in the collection of scientific data on plant and animal life since 2005, in cooperation with the park administration, are also involved with the formulation of maintenance and development plans (see Keil 2019).
