The Archeries of Gรถteborg - Keeping a City Alive
The Archeries of a City Food, labour and liveliness. This City is nurtured through its waterways.

A new City is born to the sounds of dripping, streaming, oars rythmically plowing through the water, irrigation of hydroponic crops and hydrofoil kajaks sliding silently at the surface down stream. The City is fed by food grown at its riversides. No soil is needed, not much space. Roots prosper in water and large yields of vegetables and fruit, wheat and other farming products make the City self-sufficient. Where there is enough space, greenhouses are put up along the river. Rain is harvested, superficially heightened waterlevels in the river are used for irrigation. Crops get warmth from hydroelectricity when sun is rare. Excess of water is welcomed and praised in this City that lives of water. Channels, passages, canals, ducts and races are dug out and connect to the rivers. The City Dams prevent disastrous rains from flooding the City uncontrollably at heightened seawater levels. The rising seawater is no longer a threat to the citizen. The Dams stand as strong visible marks of a civilization living by Sea and Rivers.
