Strategies

STRATEGIES | Key points

The masterplan for the project area has been built up from four key points: ‘Preserving industrial and densifying’, ‘Enhancing blue and green structure’, ‘Communication’ and ‘Serving local life’. Each key point resulted into a strategy, which then resulted into a part of the masterplan. At the end, all the separate parts of the master plan were combined, in order to form the final masterplan. During this process, several feedback moments were created to assure that all key points match and they connect well to each other in the final master plan.

Preserving industrial and densifying

Densification has been used in order to make optimal use of the potential of the in-between spaces within the project area. Mostly residential functions have been added, in multi-use buildings. These buildings also contain industrial functions. The industry is integrated to make sure it is not pushed to other areas, while combining it smartly with other functions.

In order to strengthen the ecological and social qualities the focus is to increase the presence of green and blue. Structures in the form of larger green areas are added and green connections are implemented along the entire area of the masterplan. The river is highlighted, making it a central element rather than a background element.

Communication

The existing transport will be redistributed over the area, by focusing on active modes of transport on a small scale and focusing on public transport and car traffic on a large scale. Public transport will mainly function to travel between the two cities, while the car can be used for longer distances within Sweden.

Serving local life

A land plot block structure will be created to break the longitude of the project site. Active and public plinths together with adding local functions will allow for a stronger local community and create a livelier public street. By creating points of interest, the area will be a destination for the residents of both Gothenburg and Mölndal.
