Masterplan

MASTERPLAN | A development towards a humane Backaplan-Aröd

The vision with this masterplan is to shift the hierarchy between human and infrastructure; prioritizing human scale movement. Hence this project is a proposal for a masterplan with the focus on reducing the physical and perceived barriers created by infrastructure existing in the area today.

Based on site visits and space syntax analysis four main problems with the area were stated: 1 - Weak connections 2 - Isolated and monofunctional land use 3 - Social disconnection 4 - Invisible and inaccessible nature.

In order to develop Backaplan-Aröd in line with the vision, an aim for each of the problems was formulated. 1 - A cohesive network 2 - Cohesive and mixed land use 3 - Strengthen social ties 4 - Strengthen green and blue structures.

These four aims form the base of the proposed masterplan and together they intend to realize the vision.

1. 2. The masterplan shows a new network, strengthened green areas and developed land use, with new housing, commercial spaces and offices. One important action is to remove the car access to Lundbyleden from Brantingsmotet. As the “street spaghetti” (slip roads) is removed, a simplified city centre connection in human scale is enabled, with potential to become a welcoming entrance to Hisingen.

Based on the proposed density, assuming two residents per dwelling with an average area of 100 sqm, the masterplan makes room for a total of approximately 18 000 new residents.
