Description

    Marine Urbanisation and Industrial Activities

     

  • The project focuses on mapping the marine urbanisation of the North Sea, highlighting various industrial activities, particularly those related to oil extraction.
  • Key elements such as drilling platforms and shipping lanes are marked, showcasing the extensive industrial presence in the region.
  • Numerous construction projects in the North Sea are noted to have an influence on the natural ecosystem.
  •  

    Coastline and Urban Impact

     

  • The study emphasizes the increased urbanisation along the coastlines adjoining the North Sea, reflecting how the sea influences the land and the economies of surrounding countries.
  • Instead of illustrating the coast's impact on urban areas, the study frames the ocean as a central element, affecting urban development on all sides, thus blurring the boundaries between land and sea.
  •  

    Environmental and Spatial Observations

     

  • Through this mapping, it has been observed that a significant portion of the sea is dominated by industrial activities, resulting in reduced space for ecological areas.
  • The study also aims to investigate how marine infrastructure impacts the spatial quality of urban life along the coastlines, especially in terms of land-sea interactions and the environmental impact on coastal regions.
