River The focus area of this project has been the north-eastern part of Hisingen, between Ringön and Kärra, including Backa and Brunnsbo.
The area is located along the river of Göta älv, limited to the west by hills and forest and to the east by the river itself. Along the river the area is characterized by industrial use bordered by the presence of heavy traffic along the E6. The western side of the E6 is where the residential areas are located, which fade out into nature as a result of the challenging topography.
Together this all shapes what we as a group have called “the cake effect”, meaning an area with clearly divided layers. The E6, going straight through the area connecting Malmö with Oslo, has a large barrier effect on the area, leading to it being one of the main reasons for this “cake effect”.
Bordering the river banks and taller hills, the area is exposed to the risks of flooding and rain water run off from heavy rainfall. Due to climate change this will be an even more important issue to tackle in the future.
With this in mind the focus was set on creating an area that would work with the water instead of against it. To do this a worst case scenario of 3.8 m sea-level rise and heavy rainfall was taken into consideration.
