Introduction

Course Outline

Sustainable Urban Recycling During the autumn term of 2020, the students at Lund University, School of Architecture participated in the advanced course ‘Sustainable Urban Recycling’ (ASBN 02) and its complementary theory course ‘Urban Recycling - Theory and Methods’ (ASBN 06), focused on redevelopment of the brownfield area of Gåsebäck.

The aim of the design course was to develop the students’ skills in designing strategic visions for sustainable built environments through the process of urban transformation.

The theme was explored throughout the semester in seminars, guest lectures, and project tutorials with the goal that each student presents a site specific proposal for sustainable transformation of the Gåsebäck area of Helsingborg, Sweden.

Throughout the studio-based course, the students were encouraged to engage in exploring various aspects of sustainability, identifying site problems and potentials, and suggesting opportunities for refining urban components. They were guided to find their own meaning in the terms ‘recycling’ and ‘sustainability’ when re-designing the area in Helsingborg. The design intention was to integrate a comprehensive strategy, design guidelines and tools for transforming the area into a sustainable urban structure that promotes attractiveness for the everyday life of both visitors and local residents.

The design process was separated into several parts - analysis, strategy and individual design - combing both the group and individual work of the students.

The design studio resulted in 26 unique projects in which students challenged conventional ideas and tools of sustainability, preparing and supporting the process of urban transformation in Gåsebäck. The following pages are a summary of the design site and include a brief presentation of each of the students design proposals.

Introduction

Design Site Helsingborg, Sweden In 2020 the design studio Sustainable Urban Recycling took on a new design site in Helsingborg: Gäsebäck, an industrial area to the south of the city centre that is part of the municipality’s ambitous plans for urban densification and renewal of underutilised areas. The site is hemmed in on its sides by major infrastructure such as the E4 motorway to the east and north, and the harbour area to the west, with the national railway line between Malmö and Gothenburg dividing the area in two. With a rich history as an area of production and industrial activity, the site in many ways lived in the shadow of more prominent areas to the north. But in recent years there has been a resurgence of social and cultural activity, including a thriving graffiti/art scene, which has brought renewed interest in the area and could be a generator for further change.

Due to its strategic location, the site presents many opportunities to better connect with its surroundings, introduce a mix of uses and activities including residential and business enterprise, and the necessary public realm improvements to facilitate this change. But most importantly, there is a possibility to address many of the challenges experienced today, such as excessive hard surfaces and car dominanated streetscapes, through innovative

The initial design task this year was to analyze the place and develop a sustainable vision and strategy for how Gåsebäck will develop over time. The work started with a study trip to the area in order to get an understanding of its qualities and its history. After working in groups to form more overarching strategies for the area’s future development, the students worked individually on a strategic plan for the area, including a detailed design.

Critical questions asked were: How can we break down existing barriers and create new passages, new structures of mobility and new patterns of movement? What elements should be preserved or restored in a new context? How can the reclamation of the the Gåsebäck area generate attractive places to live for many different types of people in different phases of their lives?

The aim of the final Individual phase of the Design Project is to tell a holistic story and design a sensitive, detailed plan for development of the chosen design site.

The constraints and potentials that were identified in the previous stages of analysis and strategy are now to be turned into physical spaces, bound by real dimensions and sitespecific performances. Thus, the students’ visions for Gåsebäck’s urban transformation naturally came to be concrete proposals as a result of the extensive research base from which they could be pulled up.

The reader of this booklet is invited to enduldge into the following pages in order to witness a brief collection of the final projects. It is our hope that all of the students tireless efforts

What?

“Sustainability, a rather exaggerated word but how does it relate to the future of Gåsebäck?”

Gåsebäck, which is located just south of Helsingborg’s city center, is today facing major transformation challenges. The area can almost be seen as a forgotten industrial island in the middle of the city. Despite the fact that the area’s industrial era ended a long time ago, it is still characterized by its history.

Gåsebäck’s structure with wide streets, large buildings and the fact that it is encapsulated by various barriers makes it difficult to grasp the human scale.

Sustainable Urban Recycling

Why?

16

The area offers a fairly large range of underground culture and activities such as dance, music, skate, street art and parkour. By finding new functions for its environments, these are activities that have kept the area alive and are also crucial for the area’s development and continued survival. Gåsebäck must be transformed in order to survive, if

the environment completely loses its function it will fall into ruins. Instead it must be adapted to our time and this must be done in a sustainable way to meet future demands and challenges.

How? My suggestion is that Gåsebäck must be transformed in a step-by-step process, and that the environment must be adapted and made accessible to more people. In the future I see Gåsebäck as a living part of the city with both housing, offices and surviving industries. In order to meet this vision and for the area to feel attractive, it is important to maintain its identity. This should be done through large transforming programs of existing buildings and also of the neighborhood structure.

The history of the area will be further enriched with wild greenery which in several places has taken over the old industry and this is to strengthen the post-industrial narrative.

Gåsebäck - An Easy Way of Living & Working Andreas Basstint Sandberg, Sweden

RENDER OF THE CENTRAL PLAZA

“Gåsebäck should be developed to become a mixed-use area, for people to work, visit and live.”

I want to give the area a vivid identity with an industrial spirit. It should be inviting and exciting!

I want the area to be way greener than it is now. Since the area is very windy today; the development of buildings and public areas should have some focus on how to improve the microclimate.

Sustainable Urban Recycling

In order to reach my vision for this up and coming city part, there are a few bullet points I want to highlight.

Materials should to the largest extent be recycled from the thorn down buildings and be used in the new development.

It would be preferred if new materials came from nearby producers.

18

The area of Gåsebäck should provide for social events and sport activities.

Vegetation should be added throughout the entire area and the presence of water should be enhanced through both a natural stream, but also a more defined open day water system.

Today the area has five tunnels connecting to areas around it, and a small one underneath the tracks, connecting the two very separated sides.

I want to replace that small tunnel, with a larger one that basically is a sunken terrain for easy accessibility. In the east I’ve put in a bridge for both pedestrians and cyclists. I want to enhance the connection to the green areas on the other side of the highway.

In order to reduce noise from the tracks and also the car bridge, I’ve put vegetation and offices as a buffer closest to them.

The vegetation in the south also connects to the southern neighborhood as green arms reaching down.

within.”

20

The story of Helsingborg is one that is defined by trade, industry and entrepreneurship. Historically, Gåsebäck has existed as an economic engine and industrial district within Helsingborg. Due to its central location, and existing industrial condition, Gåsebäck presents a unique opportunity to redefine the way that Helsingborg is seen within Skane, the Oresund, and beyond.

The challenge is physically reintegrating this forgotten and disconnected part of the city to the wider region and developing the area to deal with the challenges of sustainable living, rapid population growth and modern and local industry.

The sustainable vision for Gåsebäck serves at two scales, the regional and the local. As an economic hub, it should foster innovation in technology, localised production and creativity. As a local district, the inhabitants will enjoy a

dense, green and urban neighbourhood.

Gaseback will be a place to work, to live and to linger within.

Broadly speaking, the Creative Campus will act as an incubator for innovative design, workshops for localised production, co-working hubs and programmable spaces that can be utilised for new technologies and industries. It will provide the opportunities for experimenters and entrepreneurs to develop their products and visions in a collaborative and cooperative way, as well as providing direct retail to the public.

Emerging industries, such as 3D printing and tech start-ups, will emerge side by side with established ones such as fashion and furniture. The central location of Gaseback will allow people from all over Helsingborg and beyond to co-habit these spaces and form new economic opportunities to the wider region.

VARIOUS TYPOLOGIES EMPLOYED IN GÅSEBÄCK

Urban Dance Annika Wikman, Sweden

NIGHT TIME VISION OF GRAPHIC AXIS

“Gåsebäck should be a place for creators and spectators; an area to come and performe or taste, listen and observe - but no matter the activity, always taking part of culture.”

Urban dance’s vision comes from what is already in Gåsebäck. By keeping businesses and buildings and evolve the space in between the buildings for people - the project aims for Gåsebäck to become a place for creators and spectators - making room for cultural expression by food, music and other impacts on the human senses. Gåsebäck should be a vital area not only for people living in Helsingborg - but a magnet for people in the entire region.

Sustainable Urban Recycling

This is achieved through five stages; Keep, connect, break and expand.

22

The first stage, keep, makes sure important buildings and functions are preserved. It also concentrates the area for car service in order to open room for places to live and meet.

The second stage, connect, creates a green and a graphic axis that gives the area a strong cultural identity and connects Gåsebäck to its

surroundings. The graphic axis serves many purposes, it consists of graffiti walls, seating boxes, coloured asphalt and shelters that works as meeting spaces, stages, canvases and more.

The third stage, break, inserts infills, trees and other structure to break up big space and make them better adapted to the human scale, that promotes pedestrians and cyclists over cars.

The last stage, expand, is where larger built structure is added.

Helsingborg needs housing, and with population growth there’s also need for more workplaces, areas for sports, kindergartens and other types of service.

By the end of this development, the aim is that Gåsebäck will become an active part of Helsingborg city, with its own strong cultural identity. An area where people come to create, spectate, live and connect to each other.

Gåsebäck is an industrial area that has been claimed by artist and entrepreneurs. The area has had a bad reputation with many marginalized groups occupying it.

It is more sustainable making an industrial area more humanistic and nature friendly. Because of the existing users of the area, it is important to have inviting public spaces. These spaces should hold on to the spirit of the place but in order to make it more welcoming it’s needed to soften it up with greenery and light.

This design creates a balanced place where people can find a sense of belonging and is multifunctional to welcome all people, free of charge, to simply be, relax, play, or see other people all while keeping the rough industrial spirit of the neighborhood.

By adding softer elements like water, greenery and light the area will be more attractive and inviting but still in connection with its roots. With my design I am hoping to build a community that is weaved into a network of life in an environment where people can be them self, alone or together without feeling isolated.

Sustainable Urban Recycling

Let’s go to Gaseback!”

26

Helsingborg is a growing medium-sized city in the region. It intends to become one of the most innovative and livable cities in Europe.

Through the site analysis, I found that in terms of the location, Gaseback has considerable potential to be an extension of the growing city center.

On the other hand, it also has the opportunity to use the characteristics of its own street culture to develop into the cultural and creative center of this region.

However, the site has problems of isolation in four aspects (physical, functional, ecological, and vitality).

Therefore, based on the concept of sustainable development, I propose three strategies: accessibility & proximity, vibrant & productive city, and environmental friendly.

The first one mainly aims to improve the conditions of mobility, especially

in human scale. The second one aims to deal with functional and vitality isolation and build the site into an area suitable for living, working and hanging out. The last one is to improve the ecological quality and resilience of the environment through the landscape network.

By using the toolboxes of these strategies, I hope Gaseback can become better and better in the future, more inviting, more livable, and more sustainable.

Gåsebäck is an area that has somewhat been hidden away in between infrastructure and barriers, the industrial harbour to the west and a bad reputation.

Sustainable Urban Recycling

The project aims to make the area both more livable and resilient by bringing the Gåsebäcken-creek up to the surface. The creek connecting Jordbodalen in the east with Öresund in the west, a recreational path provides both stormwater management and biodiversity as well as public green space and life quality in the area

28

Enabling and utilising the grassroot initiatives and youth culture present in the area the project creates a new cultural path from south to north, using the space under the viaduct and connecting to Södergatan and the city centre.

50 m

Preserving the built heritage as well as making it accessible to the public, buildings are recycled to provide affordable public spaces for recreational activities, creating meeting places & social contexts in between work and home. The same strategy can be used for providing affordable spaces for startups and entrepreneurs.

To make the process democratic and putting people and places first, temporal activation and co-building are used throughout the development to enable life in between beginning and end goal of development: letting life take place and fill the gaps.

Reinterpretation of Gåsebäck in a green, artistic and educational vision Elisa Ripamonti, Italy

“Reuse, recycling, improvement, in a project of integration, development, mixitè and green

Sustainable Urban Recycling

spaces.”

30

This project serves as an opportunity for Gåsebäck to exploit its strengths and support the future fading of the area’s productive activities. The key of the project is the identity: industrial identity of the past era and the educational and artistic identities that have developed more recently.

The proposed strategies work on connections with the rest of the city, on better internal mobility, but above all on creating a hospitable place for the citizens who will populate or visit the area. The planned functions exploit those already present (education, art, productivity, culture) and, for a good livability of the area, the housing one has also been included. All this is taken in a mixed way to avoid creating “ghettoization” and is held together by a system of open spaces that acts as a glue. Gåsebäck has the potential to become a continuum with the city and above all with the nearby center, which is the purpose of these strategies.

As a place with strong industrial history, it embodies good characteristics and strong identity which, if valued and exploited to the fullest once the industrial wave is over, make the area unique, interesting, close to people.

Apart from the potential of the industrial past, this project wants to become an instrument for the expansion of some activities already present in the area, such as the university campus and some spontaneous cultural and artistic activities that have sprung up in recent years.

As far as sustainability and the environment are concerned, the project primarily works on a strong increase in green spaces and vegetative areas, and also exploits them to manage problems in the area such as noise and water flows. In fact, even the element of water is very present and always with a double purpose beyond the aesthetic one. The two elements, green and water, work together to manage each other.

32

Gåsebäck is an area in Helsingborg that’s dominated by an industrial heritage.

Neighbouring one of Swedens most important harbors, traffic and its old networks is still very present creating challenges. Adapted for historical use, the streets are wide, walkability connections non existent or vague that disappears in vast open spaces.

The site is squeezed into a segregated pocket by two railroads that divides the site as strong barriers. Buildings are currently in use by mainly businesses and industries. Housing is close to non-existent but there’s potential for developments.

This project aims for sustainability regarding future generations and their foreseeable needs. Helsingborg municipality predicts an increase of 34 000 habitants 2035, indicating an increased demand for housing, public spaces and opportunities for labor and business. Helsingborg has sustainable

ambitions regarding energy, production and green infrastructure. Future needs are weighed into the integration of nature for the industrial landscape while introducing potential for local residential farming. Adjustments of the street network for pedestrians and bicyclists, new entrances and connections is made to enable new flows of movement and people to key destinations. Existing social and cultural activities, businesses and historic buildings of value is acting as a framework for the newly built.

Hej hej and welcome to Gåsebäck. Now, you can enjoy walking or cycling from the beautiful Furutorpsplatsen park to Lund University’s campus through the green spine. This spine is considered by locals to be a hub for conversation, play, and engagement. When you leave the park, you will pass by Söder, a mixedarea with quiet and pedestrian-oriented streets. I suggest grabbing a fika at the corner cafe’ while enjoying the sunny view.

Next, check out the creativity hub which used to be a train station, but was transformed into a bustling area for logistics, businesses, and startups.

Upon leaving the creativity hub, you can enjoy the graffiti art and the open theatre under the viaduct. After crossing the underpass, you could rest at the greenhouse and buy some fresh food from the oxhallen farmer market.

As you get closer to the LU campus, you will find a recreational area for outdoor activities.

While the Gåsebäck is beautiful during the day, its glowing facades at night are not to be missed. The facades are made from the translucent wood “developed

by KTH”. I almost forgot to mention that you will not feel the windy weather at Gåsebäck as the orientation and the height of the buildings and trees are designed to decrease wind and maximize solar access!

36

Gåsebäck’s history of production goes back to the 1600-s, when a mill was built along the Gåsebäck river. Today, it ranges from heavier industries such as the paint factory SouthCoat, to creative industries like the artist studios in Kulturkvarteret Portugal. In my proposal, Gåsebäck is transformed into a mixed-use area, where industries still have a presence.

The arguments for integrating lighter industries into the city are many: It has the potential to activate the streetscapes and provide locally produced goods and services. Producers can benefit from shared facilities, and flexible workspaces that allow them to expand or shrink. Making together will also help create a sense of community.

Helsingborg is an innovative city, and Gåsebäck’s production has the potential to synergize with innovation projects elsewhere in the city.

Public spaces to meet, discuss ideas and relax are developed. A new green infrastructure improves walkability, and connections to the surroundings.

Most existing buildings are preserved, providing affordable working spaces.

New building typologies encouraging making and sharing, such as mixed-use buildings, bokaler, collective housing and artist lofts, are added. As a result, Gåsebäck is transformed into a lively, creative neighborhood, where people can live, work, visit and make together.

“Let nature and ecosystems back into the district, cleaning the soil, infiltrating the water, and creating valuable resources for humans and others for

generations to come”

38

In the last few decades, Gåsebäck has become an increasingly important place for creatives and houses plenty of activities for all ages; parkour, graffiti, boule and skateboarding among others.

But it’s an industrial area built on the dependency on fossil fuels and car domination; and like the rest of the world it needs to adapt to the realizations of today. We are increasingly dependent on fragile global supply-chains for import of everyday items; short product lifespans are increasing the waste of resources; and the ecological systems are in decline despite that our survival depends on them.

However, Gåsebäck offers a unique opportunity to rediscover how to produce, repair and retrofit in a more hybridizing way, returning manufacturing to a local scale. The key to achieving this is to ignite and invite Helsingborg’s creative citizens, welcoming their entrepreneurial spirit. An engaged community can

achieve remarkable things. Maybe someone wants to make 3D printed clothes? Or comes up with a way to recycle electronics more efficient?

Even upcycle furniture. Gåsebäck is the place for all of this. By empowering Gåsebäck’s rich industrial and cultural heritage, reweaving the district into the city fabric and make room for & strengthening natural ecosystemsGåsebäck gets the possibility to lead Helsingborg in a more substantiable direction.

The future people of Gåsebäck is caring for the “loops”, the circular systems on which we depend.

“The symbol of the takeover is Södersparken: an idllyic park which took over the hardened, wide and desolated streets of Gåsebäck as a new place for

Sustainable Urban Recycling

nature and people”.

40

The sooner the takeover of Gåsebäck begins, the better.

This is a neighborhood in Helsingborg held captive by hardened surfaces, pollution, complex physical barriers, and car priority. Gåsebäck also counts with an important heritage, identity and potential waiting to arise.

An integrated, livable and dynamic urban hub is the vision which harnesses Gåseback’s sustainable location within an active network of infrastructures, history, and economic opportunities within The Pearl of the Öresund.

A time-framed process with four strategies (1. Dodge the barriers, 2. Begin the takeover, 3. Uncover the potentials, 4. Let people own their space) is proposed to achieve the milestones of connectivity, livability, dynamism, and an accomplished vision for the site.

A process of critical questioning about the materiality of the urban fabric took place: from asphalt for tires towards green for feet and shoes.

The establishment of Södersparken, a 16-hectare green backbone for the site and the whole South of Helsingborg uses the green pond, a spatial landscape feature to mitigate climate change threats as flooding while placemaking.

The existing and new built environment host a diverse set of uses, such as housing, education, culture, commerce, low impact industry, with productive, recreational areas and public spaces.

A prevailingly industrial area of Gåsebäck in the city of Helsingborg is being transformed into a mix-use district, aiming to primarily enhance the aspects of community, activity and prosperity.

Old uninviting underpass should become a central meeting point for new residents and people working in the area. Element of nature is brought to the area be a green-blue network, that connect a green belt of Närlunda on the east with the sea and also creates safe connection between most of the activity generators of the area – when it comes to culture, sport or education.

Industry and businesses are reorganized in order to become more sustainable, affordable and local and also to help creating a good place for life.

Target groups for potential residents are people already present in the area - young active families, students

and beginning entrepreneurs, artists and people enjoying cultural events.

As it is important for the project to keep the current atmosphere, a considerably high amount of buildings will be kept and complemented by improved connections with defined public spaces and a combination of block and solitaire structure to densify the area and break the big scale at the same time.

Helsingborg is a growing city and needs to take measures now to have attractive, healthy districts in a human scale in the future.

“From space to place” promotes sustainability, new forms of living and offers a variety of urban spaces with different characters as well as urban pockets that invite to linger and meet neighbors.

The rough identity of the area is kept through maintaining old structures as good as possible. Existing activities are being strengthened and complemented by usages that create a network which works day and night and surprises the people when walking through. Each of the urban attractions offer different spatial qualities and will be open for everyone to use and free of charge.

In order for the different generations living in the area to meet throughout the year every developer must integrate

a common space within the building for all residents to use. (e.g a little cinema, a gymnastics room or a greenhouse…)

All spaces must be barrier free and therefor can be accessed by people of all ages. The buildings should be made of materials that are either taken from existing structures that were demolished or from organic materials.

NEW MEETING PLACES IN GÅSEBÄCK

Sustainable Urban Recycling

“Thinking on different levels”

46

I named the new Gåsebäck “Urban Jungle” as the integration of nature for all living beings is at the core of my design strategy for a sustainable future. Jungles are lively not only on the ground plane but life is also found on all its heights, so designing the new structures to be useable on several levels was crucial to ensure space is used as efficiently as possible. In a jungle, there is also never a quiet hour. Therefore my vision aims to have meeting places populated and used at all times by being inviting, efficient and satisfying.

Today, Gåsebäck is an old industrial harbour area in great need of being developed and connected to Helsingborg. Gåsebäck is currently highly isolated from the remaining parts of Helsingborg due to train and motorized traffic going through and around it. Additionally, there are only a few attractors for people; some sports for young people and car repair services.

The city of Helsingborg is developing the surrounding industrial areas to be more integrated into the city (projects H+ and Oceanhamnen)by offering homes and giving people access to the Öresund, so naturally, Gåsebäcks development is of great importance as well.

In my vision, I have reduced motorized traffic significantly by turning the viaduct that cuts through the centre of Gåsebäck into an elevated bike- and promenade fast lane, with the aim to connect southern and northern Helsingborg with an attractive and efficient route. This high fast lane is accessible by the new public structures in the centre, offering stops. New bus routes also connect the city part to Helsingborg further.

The myriad of green roofs is for farming, leisure and animals, adding a total of 71 030 square meters of green in this new urban environment, introducing an urban jungle in Scandinavia.

Gåsebäck for Originals Momoko Kotani, Japan

“Gåsebäck will be more communal, more creative,

Sustainable Urban Recycling

and more liveable”

48

This project, Gåsebäck for Originals aims reinforcing the identity of Gåsebäck in Öresunds region through VIBRANT CULTURAL STREETS and BARRIERFREE URBAN BUILT ENVIRONMENT, reflecting the LOCAL COOL CHARACTER and enhancing CREATIVE ENGINE by attracting YOUTH and CREATIVES to its PUBLIC OPEN SPACE. The primary target users are students as a driven force. The main opportunities my project addresses are local characters, such as music festivals, schools, and street art. Also, the main issues are car-primary streets, isolation from surrounding areas and lack of greenery.

To make such an industrial area more communal, more creative and more liveable, I propose three strategies; collaborative creative, constant flow, and borderless green & blue.

The method of collaborative creative aims to provide places where people can express their creativity, try and test their ideas, work together, help

and stimulate each other. The strategy of constant flow will make street full of people, support the local business, and increase the interaction between people through a day. Especially, the huge construction of underpass and renovation of space under a viaduct will overcome the barriers due to railways and a viaduct.

The strategy of borderless green and blue will enrich the urban quality, for example, pedestrian-and-cyclistfriendly streets, nice scenery, and air and noise purification. Furthermore, such a rich environment will turn the industrial neglected area into a liveable community. The strategies focusing on the interaction and activities between people in public spaces will reinforce the foundation of the community, and the stable and liveable community will be able to sustain its local identity and economy and welcome new users and residents in the future.

The vision for this intervention is; Reactivate the area through promoting coexistence, innovation, entrepreneurship along with nature representation.

The strategies to achieve this goal are: i: Moving the blocks from being monofunctions to multi functions. ii: Introducing new national functions to the area; Railway museum, art gallery and local food shops. iii: Making the distances closer by densifying, and creating human considering new blocks. iv:Arranging blocks for better micro climate,collect rainwater and encourage biodiversity. v: Creating public spaces that allows people to present, exhibit, and perform Strategies will be achieved gradually through three phases; Phase 1; Reviving.

This stage is mainly associated with existed manmade structure; removing

fences, reuse the warehouses for startup businesses taking the advantage of their open plan and wide spaces they provide.

Phase 2; Space framing.

This phase is to confine the areas that are too wide to achieve better human cognition of the places. This stage will add value to the site by framing the railway museum plaza, which will be surrounding Lokstallarna.

Phase 3; Revitalization.

One of the most problematic issues in Gåsebäck is the separation from the surrounding areas, this stage will suggest new urban blocks that densify the way from Husar to Oceanhamnen.

Among phases; urban infill.

Through the three phases, urban infill in the area is suggested. Micro climate and space proportion was taken into consideration while designing this infill. Why it’s not a phase itself? Because it differs from a place to another in the area, and it can be started anytime the real estate developers find feasible.

“The healing combination of water management, urban farming, social hubs, bluegreen connection will revive the Gåsebäck”

This area should tackle physical, social and environmental issues such as long term industrial activities consequences, fragile ecology that comes from lack of greenery and climate change that lead to floods in the future. The present problems force the area to experience just limited necessary commuting specially about pedestrians and cyclists which make it a wide abounded area that is not welcome to people.

Sustainable Urban Recycling

Therefore addressing these challenges provide more opportunities to glorying Gåsebäck potentials so this area will be able regain its position.

52

To achieve this goal, the strengthens of Gåsebäck should be consider as a start point and follow them in proposing phases to keep its identity during design process. Adding new buildings for housing and commercial purposes, creating more social spaces on useless sites, making lanes for pedestrians and bicycles as a part of present wide

streets, considering a car free zone and increasing greenery, restoration buried stream with use of blue network, exercising sustainability by water management and urban farming, making pleasure places near the beach all will invite people to live and work there and accept Gåsebäck as a part of Helsingborg which can return life and nature to it.

To counteract suburbanization and environmental change, it is important to create living space in the city, to avoid dependence on fossil fuels. Live Local! For sustainable social stability, it is necessary to mix society and offer it opportunities for recreation, development and leisure. Furthermore, it is important to move the common human understanding to an ecologically justifiable life. But How? The strategy is based on 3 pillars: Locomotion, Life of Nature, Location.

The first column focuses on the movement of zero-emission transport and the sporting leisure activities.

The second one on Life of nature.: The limits of our planet have long been exceeded in terms of biodiversity,

in this city a sign is set that life can function between humans and animals.

pleasure of mobility

To avoid the extension of the growing city of Helsingborg in the outskirts of the municipality, we propose to transform the area of Gåsebäck into a mix district by adding housing and public facilities to the industry network already present.

However, numerous infrastructures cut the district from the rest of the city and the sea.

• These infrastructures can be seen as potential benefit for the district. In fact, the cars would be able to pass around the district but would not be welcome to pass in it. The car network is therefore reduced at the maximum.

• The project starts from the entrances to invite people to cross the barriers, and, by this way, to connect Gåsebäck with neighboring districts. A « magnet » is adapted to the need of each district around.

• Curiosity will be emphasized through an addition of cultural activities. This can expand in the public spaces, mainly located all around the viaduct in the

• A pleasure of mobility will be developped.

The major axe NorthSouth, will be transformed in an avenue with green spaces, water retention and urban squares to stop.

• The East-West road will be redefined into a series of different atmospheres linked to the perspective on the Närlunda tower and the cranes.

• A strong green network will allow numerous paths around the site. This enables inhabitants and visitors to discover the different activities in relation with the green network (urban farm, swimming pool, fire station…).

The built structure keep the majority of the existing buildings. It supports the large variety of public spaces. A large typology is therefore used to produce different atmospheres and activities.

“A journey from loneliness to togetherness. Re-thinking of urban design to become a

sustainable social node.”

58

Gåsebäck is a place that carries the identity of being industrial and with bad social reputations. The goal is to transform this area to a social, lively node. As architects and urban designers we can create societies with a future of new elements on the area. That can be achived by applying more residential areas, more green spaces, and more commercial areas, such as cafes, bars, restaurants, multi-programs that offer a constant activity on the site. Therefore, it helps not only our well-being but also increase the social density.

The approach to the site is the same as the first walk around Gåsebäck, small phases and constant exploration.

With small steps to approach certain areas that can hold commercial programs and residential areas.

To build more for the human scale with respect leads to a sustainable environment.

When urban survives we always look back and understand the history, and therefore Gåsebäck will hold strongly the idea of industrial area but in a sustainable and creative way of depiction.

By achiving the process of the strategies and of connectivity, Gåsebäck will bind the social and cultural fabric all together. The habitat elements is there and correlates with the sustainable environment. Finally, completing a sustainable urban design the intimate social interaction upgrades the area, not only continues life, but evolves it.

Promote better connections to the existing key elements of the area is the main strategy, in addition, developed with variety of public spaces, giving multiple choices of routes, and connecting not only activities, but people and public interactions.

Providing the coexistence of a variety of urban functions and diversified built environments To turn the urban fabric more cohesive and provide active urban spaces new building are proposed to fill empty plots and frame a new urban space. Performing a renovated streetscape, varying according to users, accessibility, size, and materiality of

spaces. It is important to highlight that there is not only the spatial gap. There are also cultural, natural, economic, and demographic gaps aimed to be filled in this proposal.

The entrepreneurial aspect of Helsingborg and the dynamic allure that the vibrant Gåsebäck will emanate will invite people to visit, stay, work, and grow with Gåsebäck.

Gåsebäck is an industrial district dominated more by car and private spaces. Moreover there are some physical barriers as the highway, the train track and the bridge than make some places secluded, quite inaccessible or less attractive to visit although the district is located within a good distance from the city center.

Therefore it is particularly important that Gåsebäck will be planned as a natural extension of the rest of the city with a robust and cohesive urban structure with no social barriers and less dominated physical barriers.

The strategies are based in mixed functions, improving accessibility and permeability, reinforcing the existed generators, creating new ones and preserving the character and visible history of the area.

Following the strategies it will achieve a vibrant neighborhood accessible for everyone and focused on human needs and wants.

The creation of attractive and safe places at all times of the day and seasons of the year will give life, movement and it will attract of a variety of visitors, for instances the fire station and the warehouse-plaza with the temporal events, Jutan with the extension under the bridge, the new active street that will connect different meeting places.

The idea is to design ground floors of buildings to create active façades in selected streets and places; a green-blue structure that provides opportunities for recreation and can reduce the impact of future climate change; a dense mixedfunctions which in itself reduces the need for transport and also provides a basis for sustainable transport; new buildings inspired by the area’s industrial character with different house typology such as row houses and building housing with courtyards.

Space for resident communities, intimate open space, a close green space, pedestrian connectivity, community buildings.

I consider Gåsebäck not only as a part of the city,but also its role in the region and entire country. To make it become the engine of the municipality’s ambition.

The other tram station is located in an open square in Gåsebäck.Visitors from different areas could take part in the culture life there.

In order to do that,I added a new tram line to the one proposed by the authority.

The purpose is to connect the entire city and even the country.With the help of new tram line,Gåsebäck will become the biggest and most prosperous district of the city.

The Gåsebäck renovation plan will also turning Gåsebäck into a natural-friendly district.The idea is to let nature runs by itself.When make full use of the singledirect wind in Helsingborg,the falling leaves could be easily taken by the wind and be sent into the tube nearby.

The will be two tram stations in Gåsebäck, each one of them plays different role in urban life.

After that, the strom water in the tube would take those leaves to an open green space.

The one in Husarområdet will integrate the old camps into a big “courtyard”.

And the open public area in the middle will become a high dense mix-used community,but at the same time the hight of those buildings will be relatively low.And the buildings there will be built by re-use containers from the harbour nearby.

The history of Gåsebäck is a history of people who in societies often have been neglected such as, orphans, factory workers, and the homeless. The area has become a somewhat forgotten place, disconnected from the rest of the city, vacated of the industries that made it, and a space not for people but cars.

Despite this, something remarkable has happened here, as it has organically become a place for alternative culture, skateboarding, and street art.

The vision of Gåsebäck as the Gallery attempts to capture this unique spirit, to develop it and use it as a driving force for good change. Connecting existing nodes of creativity, not only within the area but with the rest of Helsingborg. Establishing new hubs such as a makerspace, upcycling studio, incubators for startups, and a common marketplace. Focusing on creative and inclusive spaces where ideas from anyone can both take shaped and be shared with the world.

With creativity activating the space, the vision is to then build a sustainable urban area alongside the cultural development. Adding to it by improving connections with the rest of the city and reshaping the streetscapes to favor people over cars. Repurposing the existing built structure and adding to it with housing, studios, or stores.

Buildings shaped around common courtyards designed for people to relax, create, and connect with others.

Finally reinforce the area and making it resilient by integrating and blue and green infrastructure through the whole area. Making sure that this area has a long future ahead of it, of showing the world the creativity that Helsingborg has to offer.
