The waterfront is one of the aspects with the greatest potentials and is a big asset to the site, which have been considered carefully when decided what to do with it. All of it has been given to the use of the public in different ways, through direct connection to the water as well as through seating or pedestrian access next to it. AN ARVSGAT STORA V
The site, according to our vision, should be a place for residence and work, but also a place for everyone else who does not necessarily have this relationship to Varvstaden. The activities, the food offered and the public areas should cater for diversity, and invite people from every social class, ethnic backgrounds as well as age groups. This will keep the site lively and appreciated by everybody, as it will possibly offer something that appeals to most at least in some way. Commercially there will be spaces in the mixed uses buildings, and also public markets to rent for flea markets and similar events. Kranhuset, the main generator of the site, is supposed to invite the public to suggest and host workshops and other activities there, and will also be as diverse with this as the public suggests.

VISION FOR VARVSSTADEN
The green lands are located peripheral to the site. Bu bringing the green on the east side there will a more equitable distribution and access to the green spaces within the area.
Although not very visible in perception Varesstaden is part of a system of canals that connect the sea to the city center, and the main park with the historic Citadell. The new developments of the Bo01 area already bring the water inside the peninsula. There is an imminent need for connection across the land.
The introduction of the tram across the site to make the connection of the city centre to the western harbour will activate the site and transform the area into a key space. ASBN02/2013 - RALUCA-ELENA AXANTE
