City of Täby — 1. WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF THE SITE MUTATION?
Arninge-Ullna is one of the most exciting development areas in Täby. It can be described as a city with a number of districts. There is a residential area, an industrial business area and external retail. The aim is to enhance these different districts with additional functions and create an attractive and productive area for residences as well as for businesses. The goals are to develop the site with residencies, production capacity, recreational facilities, and public functions in order to affect the balance of the whole Arninge-Ullna area and further its path towards a rich and mixed city. 2. HOW CAN THE SITE BE INTEGRATED IN THE ISSUES OF PRODUCTIVE CITIES? HOW DO YOU CONSIDER THE PRODUCTIVITY ISSUE?
The site is part of eight city centres designated in the regional plan for greater Stockholm. The district will open up to extensive public transport, as a new station on the regional railway is scheduled to open in 2021. This will add to the already working artery of the E18 motorway. All in all, the district has a potential to serve as a 58
productive city core for a larger region. The aim is to find a way to best connect the production of services and spaces, including cultural and recreational, in the evolving ecosystem. Here, an important key lies in the current project site: with proper steps, synergies can be created between residents and productive elements such as knowledge-based activities, workplaces and community services. 3. HAVE YOU ALREADY DEFINED A SPECIFIC PROCESS FOR THE URBAN AND/OR ARCHITECTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE AFTER EUROPAN COMPETITION?
The municipality is currently working with a masterplan for the whole Arninge-Ullna area. The aim is to integrate ideas from the winning proposal into it.
