Multi story housing Alby & Fittja Alby Parts of the Alby we see today lie on a mountain and rises early from the sea. Alby was a part of the archipelagic landscape that characterized these parts of Sweden during the Stone Age. A stone coffin from late Stone Age dated to 1800 BC, was found on a little hill outside Alby.

That is a very rare finding for this part of Sweden. There are also some grave fields from the Iron Age. One of them lies along Storskiftesvägen.

A couple of hundred years later the capital of Sweden, Stockholm, was founded. From Stockholm went a road, Göta landsväg, which passed through Alby on its way to the southern parts of Sweden. Parts of it can still be seen.

The first mansion was built during the 17th century. It does not stand there anymore. The mansion that can be seen today was built around 1809 but its appearance changed during the 1890,s when L.M. Ericsson owned Alby. He added a little tower, a colonnade and a portal. Ericsson was the founder of the Ericsson concern and he lived in Alby until 1916.

Fittja Fittja was the centre of Botkyrka from the time of the new road in the 1660’s until the railroad came to Tumba 200 years later. Some buildings, like Fittja Gård, still exist from that period.

The name Fittja comes originally from an Icelandic word that means something like waterlogged meadow. When the new road was built Fittja changed. A post office, a restaurant and fresh horses for the wagons was supplied.

The district courthouse was also placed there. Fittja became the natural first stop for people travelling south from the capital. Fittja also had a very good brick work that supplied the capital with bricks when its population was growing. The brick work was situated near the OBSstore.

The building known as Fittja Gård was built in 1812 and today Mångkulturellt centre is placed directly opposite it.

The earlier Fittja Gård, built about 1750, lies closer to the water and is known as “Ängsbyggningen. It is an apartment today.

01. BOTKYRKA - TYPOLOGIES

Tullinge Tullinge lies on the eastern shore of Lake Tullinge. There are no traces from the Bronze Age left that can be seen but the biggest deposit findings in Botkyrka was found here. A deposited finding is things that have been buried to be hidden or sacrificed. The findings consisted of a sickle, two axes and some trinkets; all made out of bronze.

In the Iron age two well kept hill-forts were built during its early stage. Especially Skansberget is impressive and is the best kept hill-fort in all of Botkyrka. From the younger Iron Age several grave fields have been found. It is probably during this period that Tullinge starts the transformation from a single farm to a village.

Many hundred years later, in the 1630’s, Tullinge becomes a Manor. The noble Johan Adler Salvius built a Manor house. It was burned in a fire during the 19th century and wasn’t rebuilt. One of the wings survived and is still standing though it has gone through some changes during the years.

The oldest house in Tullinge is a simple cottage. It is named Trädgårdstorp and was built about 1650 and has remained unchanged since then. Most of what today is known as Tullinge consists of villas in different sizes. The oldest was built around the year 1900

Summer house south of Tumba Norsborg Many important families have lived in Norsborg since the Iron Age. The biggest burial mound is 40 m long and 6 m high. It contained gold, silver and bronze and was very rich. It is dated to 650-700 A.D. The burial mound might be connected to the Norse Edda-poetry.

One of the Edda-songs tells the story about Helge Hundingsbane (Helge, the killer of Hunding) and an old tradition says that it is Hunding that lies in the burial mound. In a Swedish rhyme chronicle written about 1330, Hundhamra was mentioned. It was then owned by a duke.

The 18th century mansion that we can see today, was built by Johan Liljencrantz. He was an important man in the Kings administration. He renamed the place after his second wife Eleonora. Hundhamra became Noras Borg which then was simplified into Norsborg. He also built an English garden that incorporated the burial ground. It is one of the best kept English gardens in Sweden.

Multi story housing Norsborg

Villa area Tullinge

Multi story housing Tumba Tumba What makes Tumba differ from the other communities in northern Botkyrka is that it doesn’t stem from a big farm with roots way back in time. The people of prehistory preferred to live close to the shores. Tumba was an inland country. That’s why traces of man during prehistory are relatively rare.

The big change took place during 1755 when the bank of Sweden bought a small farm and started a papermill.

Around the papermill came a community that developed with its own school and houses for the workers to live in.

Soon after the railroad came in 1860 a society started to grow around the stationhouse. This society was more common with commerce, police, and a movie theatre than the papermill.

A few houses from that period are still left. In 1894 ‘Separator’ (DeLaval) bought Hamra Gard and transformed it into a farm specialized in milkprocessing. From the beginning these three parts worked separate but grew together.

Red-green majority â&#x20AC;&#x153;Allianceâ&#x20AC;? majority Neither red-green or Alliance majority

The municipality of Botkyrka was formed in 1971 when Botkyrka landskommun and GrĂśdinge landskommun municipalities were united into one. In 1974 the municipality of Salem joined, to break out of Botkyrka to become independent in 1983.

Through out history the social democratic party has been the strongest party within the municipality, doing their best election in 1982 and their worst in 1991. Within the municipality both Socialdemokraterna and Moderaterna have had quite steady results thorough out the elections since the seventies, while the results of the same parties have gone through a much bigger change in the election for the swedish parliament.

The results of the smaller parties has changed quite a lot.

In reasent elections the more local parties Botkyrkapartiet and Tullingepartiet has made a significant advancement within the municipality.

Tullingepartiet was formed two weeks before the election of 2006. Some people living in Tullinge agreed to form a party whose goal was to form a separate municipality. They were tired of the nothern part of Botkyrka getting all the tax money and benefits. Tullinge is a homogeneous part of Botkyrka with 17 000 inhabitants and has, according to Tullingpartiet good conditions for a becoming a very pleasant town with good community and good economy. Botkyrka however, is a very large and sprawling municipality with parts that have very disparate needs. Botkyrka municipality doesn’t look upon the needs of Tullinge and the residents are not primarily involved in the rest of Botkyrka. And the main part work, shop and so on in other cities like Stockholm, Södertälje, etc. Tullingpartites main and biggest issue is to keep the homogenity and break free and form their own municipality like for exemple Salem, who has pretty much the same number of inhabitants as Tullinge.

Källor: Områdesstatistik Botkyrka Kommun, SCB

In the election for the municipaltiy year 2010 a party called Tullingeparitet won 6 seats, and became the third biggest party in Botkyrka. Why did this happen and why does Tullinge have a party of their own?

The party has two main sayings; -Practical solutions are better than ideological deadlocks -The best thing for Tullinge What “ideology” you have at the national or international level is for them less important in local politics. In a small local community the big sweeping ideological visions mean less. The must of linking the different parts of Botkyrka is an unnecessary must according to the party; “Why do we have to have something to do with the rest if we can manage on our own?”

Botkyrka as it’s own municipality from Tullingepartiets leaflet

We decided to find out more about this party and their urge to form a municipality of their own, a phenomenon that is not so common among swedish municipalities today. A brief look upon this shows that this is one out of five similar conflicts today in the rest of Sweden. We set up a meeting with Anders Thorén, the party’s spokesperson and Carl Widercrantz, the party’s secretary.

INTERVIEW WITH TULLINGEPARTIET at Café Tegner, Tullinge Centrum Standing ouside Café Tegner in Tullinge Centrum a sunny afternoon just after lunch we meet up with Anders Thorén just in time after having a long walk in the forest with his kingsize poodle before leaving to Mallorca for vacation. After ordering coffee we all sat down with Carl Widercrantz that had already installed.

Anders Thorén (left) and Carl Widerkrantz (right)

The discussion starts off when we explain why we’re here, them assuming it’s because of the ongoing competition regarding the new Idea Store in Tullinge. Last friday a leaftlet with their counterproposal that shows an expansion and renovation of the existing commercial centre instead. “You have to have a overall solution instead of brand new big house that doesn’t fit in an appropriate scale. We want things to blend in to enhance the homogenity in our part of the municipality. It seems like there’s an ongoing trend at the moment with architecture as branding”, says Anders.

01. BOTKYRKA - POLITICS/TULLINGEPARTY

Anders explains how the party all began with a bunch of thirty-something families moving to Tullinge with the hopes for an idyllic suburb with single family housing. They expected the schools and education to be high quality but got suprised by the opposite. The money had been spent on the nothern parts of Botkyrka for understandable reasons. Todays agenda with building rental appartments in Tullinge centre is also in conflict with the will of the habitants in the area. “They want to create a diversity of ownership but it’s just another way of saying that you want to mix up the people living here. This is something that the people in Tullinge are not interested in. It’s only forcing it”.

The door opens to the café and in comes Peder, an employee for Tulia, the company that owns 85% of the commercial spots in the Tullinge centre. Anders suddenly interrups the interview, “Have you’ve got our leaflet?” Peder sounds surprised but nods when Anders hands over the folder with their new plan for the centre that has been posted by mail last week. There’s a short discussion about how correct the actual placing of the library/Idea Store is in the plan; “ I know that it’s gonna be built right there (poining at an empty spot on the proposal), in THEIR plans” laughing Anders. “They are saying that they are building a meeting spot for the youth but let us create those places in a new centre instead (now pointing at a basket court) “.

Tullingepartiets vision of the new city centre

When Peder leaves we’re asking about the bus connections between the northern part of Botkyrka and Tullinge Anders considers there’s no need; “Linking the different parts of Botkyrka together is only an ideological statement. I’ve only visited the northern part three times and that’s it. There’s no need.

And what are they going to do here? Shop or just look around”? Here Carl jumps into the discussion with an exemple of how municipality tried to link the different parts together creating an asphalt road through the forest from Alby to Tullinge. “Nobody uses this road and it’s just an example of one of the investments made by politicians instead of the locals. Why not invest in a new station building for the commuter train? Do something that people in Tullinge actually want!” Anders nods and continues; “They are sitting in front of their computers and planning a new house or a road looking at Google street-view. Have they even been to Tullinge? I want the politicians to be more in touch with the actual society instead of sitting in their office in front of the computer screens. If the politicians has a more prominent role among in the local community they can also be held responsible for their actions in a higher degree”.

CONCLUSIONS Tullingepartiet is an effect of a segregated municipality. They show the problems that might occur when the parts of a municipality are differentiated both in the economic situation among the habitans as well as geographicly, which is enhanced by the difficulties in public transportation to the northern part of Botkyrka. The Idea Store is an example of a political strategy when the wills are too many and the area to focus on becomes too big. The way of uniting the municipallity with a Starchitect is not the way to go. Tullingepartiet embodies this with their almost introspective politics.

01. BOTKYRKA - BOTKYRKABYGGEN

BOTKYRKABYGGEN Botkyrkabyggen is the largest real estate company in the municipality of Botkyrka. They are a stock corporation own by the municipality founded in 1957.

The company administrates 12.000 housing units in Botkyrka, where10.000 of them were built during the million programme between 1965 and1975.

3.300 of these apartments are located in Alby, the largest million programme area in Sweden. 85% of Botkykabyggen´s housing stock consists in apartment blocks of witch 49% are three-room flats. They also administrate some villas and row houses. We arranged a meeting with Botkyrkabyggen´s costumer manager Jan-Erik Sandh at their costumer office in Tumba.

“It started with a slit leakage (slitsläcka) in Storvreten, built in -65, the oldest million programme in the company, 1,5 yeras ago. ” This is a severe proplem since the waterpipes and the slit leakage runs through the construction, inside the walls, passing every storey, and they are therefore really difficult to reach and fix. These kind of problems are Botkyrkabyggen´s main concern and focus during the next ten year period, starting in 2014 with a renovation of 700 apartments each year. They estimate the renovation will cost 7 billions Swedish crowns.

01. BOTKYRKA - BOTKYRKABYGGEN

To be able to afford these huge renovation costs, Botkyrkabyggen sold the 1300 apartments at Albyberget for 700 million crowns to one of the wealthiest venture capitalist, Mikael Ahlström, in June 2013. This has been a huge debate inside the media because the people were taken in consideration in a democratic manner about municipality´s political decisions. Thus the people living at Albyberget formed the group “Alby is not for sale” in sign of protest.

Sandh argues that selling properties already owned or rented and investing in new building construction is the only alternative they have to handle this situation. We asked him: “Why there were no savings and prepared budget for these obvious emerging renovation needs?” The answer was vague: “It does not work like that, we have a continuous need for money, we have the lowest rents in the Stockholm region and we have tenants with an average low income. We also have a social responsibility and work for the public good and the people living here.”

At the end of the 80s the Swedish government had a budget of 25-35 billions per year for housing policy with subventions, housing benefits and tax deduction for interest charges. In 1992 it was 32 billions, in 1997 7 billions and at the beginning of 2000 it was 2 billions. Today the incomes exceeds the expenses. Therefor with no state-support the alternatives are: - Raise the rents - Raise taxes - Mortgage/loan - Lower the ambitions/costs - Sell to private investors - Tear down The buildings where the condo-apartments are planned

Botkyrkabyggen chose to sell. “It will not cover everything but it is a start. We are also looking into building 100 new apartments per year which will bring in some extra money.” Another method that Botkyrkabyggen is trying is condo-apartments (andelsägandelägenheter). Eriksberg is the firts try-out area meaning that the tenants living there have the possibility to buy their apartment from Botkyrkabyggen for a low amount of money with a raised rent.

The advantages would be the safety in owning your apartment, beeing able make interior changes and/or sell it. Since thay are a politically regulated company, co-operative apartments (bostadsrätter) are not an alternative according to Sandh, and he even stated :“it would be a politic suicide (politiskt självmord)”.

Sandh also says that Botkyrkabyggen strives to have an informative and open dialogue with the residents living in their properties. One can argue that this was unfortunately not the case in Albyberget. They are also trying to avoid gentrification and make it possible for the people living in Botkyrka to make their housing career within the municipality. One thought is to change some of the many three room flats to one/two and four-room apartments.

The strategy in the long run is to make the million programme areas more attractive and Botkyrkabyggen starts its renovation jurney with the most urging problems like water and ventilation. “One good thing about the million programme blocks is that they are repeating themselves, so when we find the right way to renovate one apartment all the others will follow in a long but fast row!”

Plats att växa – hur mycket och när Man kan hitta ett passande ställe att bo på, det finns allt att välja på. Vem som än kommer hit kan hitta en plats att trivas på

Den långsiktiga boendeplaneringen ska utgå från Botkyrkas läge – som en del av den växande Stockholmsregionen och mittemellan de tre regionala stadskärnorna Flemingsberg, Kungens kurva–Skärholmen och Södertälje.

Bostadsmarknadens utveckling har betydelse för hur framtiden ser ut för befolkning, arbetsmarknad, näringsliv och ekonomisk tillväxt.

Vi ska göra det möjligt att bygga 20 000 nya bostäder Antalet nya bostäder ska tillgodose efterfrågan som uppstår på flera sätt.

Kommunens nuvarande befolkning ger upphov till fler hushåll genom att ungdomar flyttar hemifrån och genom att antalet hushåll med äldre inte minskar i motsvarande takt. Dessutom finns en efterfrågan från hushåll i andra delar av regionen och från inflyttare till Storstockholm. Mellan åren 2001 och 2011 har det i genomsnitt byggts 240 nya bostäder per år i Botkyrka. Sett över en längre tidsperiod från 1980–2010 är motsvarande siffra 230. Därtill kommer antalet fritidshus som omvandlas till permanenta bostäder. Under de senaste åren ökar befolkningen i snabbare takt än bostadsbyggandet och det gäller både i Botkyrka och i Stockholmsregionen.

Vi vill att bostadsbyggandet ska öka, till att börja med till 350 nya bostäder per år. Vi ger utrymme för 20 000 nya bostäder under 30 år. Det motsvarar ett genomsnittligt tillskott av 650 bostäder per år. Men kommunen råder inte ensam över genomförandet. Regionala och nationella infrastruktursatsningar, var hushållen efterfrågar bostäder och var byggare och fastighetsbolag är beredda att investera är andra avgörande faktorer.

It's not the real Danderyd that presents itself when driving northbound on the E18 from Stockholm. It's more of a barrier of shopping malls, parking lots, apartment towers and commercial buildings, protecting what really lies here from prying eyes.

Nonetheless is it an essential part of this municipality. The road itself is the main artery, connecting Danderyd to Stockholm and the outer suburbs. Danderyds sjukhus, the hospital, marks the local hub for public transportation, where every minute crowds of people pour from busses and disappear underground to the subway and equally as many go the opposite way. This is where the few bus-lines within Danderyd end and the commuters connect to further transportation.

Behind this bustling scene lies a different world, one which is impossible to experience as an outsider because it only serves one single purpose – offering those who can afford it a place to live in a quiet green surrounding. The streets here are empty. Every once in a while a gardener might show. Nobody is walking unless they are walking a dog. And the cars rush past in a hurry. The only time it becomes evident that this area is actually inhabited is when passing a kindergarden or school and the peace is broken by the cries and laughs of children.

The described scene is a common phenomena in low-density, single-use-zoning areas, which Danderyd is. The obvious consequence of this policy is that living, working, shopping ect. are inconveniently spread apart, hence the car becomes a necessity.

Spatially speaking, automobile-oriented communities are largely inefficient as there are many low frequented roads and massive parking lots taking up a lot of space. It can also lead to further inefficiencies by making people constructing their own private leisure infrastructure right by their house – exemplary are the individual tennis courts found throughout Danderyd that are only used sporadically.

But to describe Danderyd as the typical suburb – as comes to mind when thinking of the classic american suburb - would be a wrong observation. Evident is the lack of an overall order, as it has grown gradually and without big contractors developing large areas. The only elements giving any structure are the E18 motorway and a collector road which starts in Stocksund at the southern tip and circles through Djurholms Torg and up to Kyrkogårdsvägen.

Danderyd is first and foremost exclusive and wants to stay that way. It is in a state of contentment, contained on a peninsula with a green belt shielding north. It sounds absurd to speak of the least dense area in Sweden as full, but it is essentially what the the people here feel because further building – if it is not along the E18 – would inevitably lead to an unwanted densification.

02. DANDERYD

To understand what Danderyd is we have to go back to the later half of the 18th century when industrialization forced people to move to Stockholm. The population nearly doubled in a couple of decades and the poor newcomers was forced to move out of the city to unplanned settlements. Meanwhile the rich bourgeois also wanted to leave the overpopulated city and new living trends made them look in the countryside instead. Danderyd north-west of Stockholm was suited for this project because most of it had been private and royal estates which meant that it had no industrial sites.

Todays municipality Danderyd consists of several smaller areas that is a bit different from each other. Most of it is exclusive single family housing with the exception of Mörby and the area along highway E18.

The first area that was plannes was Djursholms villastad. It was planned 1889 when brukspatron Montgomery-Cederhielm died and the heirs sold the old estate to the bank manager Henrik Palme. Other estate owners followed the example and sold their estates to exploitation companies. To make the rich bourgeois move out of the city the planners wanted to make the area exclusive, both in built and social character. To do this they invested a lot more money up front than for the other single family housesuburbs. They made sure that there were good communications, water and electricity for everyone and that the ground work had a great standard. The lots were initially very large, between 4 400 and 8 800m2. In one of the prospects for Djursholms villastad it said: ”Due to embarrassing feeling of pressure in the city we need more space to enjoy the benefits of the rural life without loosing the convenience and opportunities for work of the urban life”. For the founders of Djursholm it became clear that Roslagsbanan with its only track would not be convenient enough for the growing population but Stockholm’s politicians said no. In time a compromise was reached and it was agreed to make a shorter line from Östra station to Djursholm with nine trains every day. Special worker trains was set up that went out early in the morning and back to the city in the late evening so that the people in Djursholm never had to meet ”dirty workers” or see ”sooty factories” when they travelled.

HISTORY

02. DANDERYD

to far from the city and had relatively good communications. The beautiful surrounding garden city was also thought to have a good effect at the sick. The hospital was finished 1922 with 118 beds. In the 50s and 60s it expanded its services heavily and a new complex was built. In the early 70s it had over 1600 employees and 1100 beds.

In the early 1960s there was also a huge lack of apartments in Danderyd. The queue had 2000 persons waiting, a lot of them for several years, and it was decided to build 950 apartments in Mörbyskogen. The apartments was built in the contemporary large-scale prefabricated rational style that came to define ”miljonprogrammet”.

The housing i Danderyd was mostly built earlier though, around 1962, and very few apartments was rental. It also has a shopping mall, Mörby centrum, that was built 1961 with individual entrances to each store. The subway line from Universitetet to Mörby was finished in 1977 which makes it one of the most recently built. Originally the subway was supposed to continue to Täby but they turned it down because they wanted to keep using Roslagsbanan instead.

The area around the subway, the hospital and highway E18 continued to be developed with offices and multi-family housing.

Stocksund was created in the same way but slightly later in time. Djursholms planners already felt the competition for the rich bourgeois from Saltsjöbaden and was not that happy about a similar area so close and Stocksund had to live in the shadow of its grander neighbour for a long time.

Both these areas had very regulated building permits to ensure that a certain standard was maintained. In Stocksund the lots were grouped in small groups to make sure that there was enough privacy. The lots could not be divided and you could not have animals or build factories on them. All selling of alcohol was also forbidden. The goal was rural housing with lots of open estates but the strict regulations created a dissatisfaction among the dwellers. Soon they had to allow smaller lots around 20 000 sft (ca 1760m2) and the areas eventually became a more dense single family house area.

The other areas, mainly Enebyberg, were also developed in the early 19th century albeit a bit later than Djursholm and Stocksund due to the lack of access to Roslagsbanan. Those areas also consisted mostly of ”egnahemshus” (smaller modest single family houses) Mörby, the part of Danderyd closest to Stockholm, differs from the rest. It has much better connections than the garden cities around it because of the highway E18 that goes right through the middle as well as the subway.

It was from the beginning of the 20th century dedicated to single family houses for the public servants of the city. 1917 almost a hundred houses were built. During this time it was also decided to build a hospital here to take care of the medical needs of the overpopulated Stockholm. The location was chosen because it was available, not

SIZE REFERENCE Research shows that the segregation index in Stockholm is higher for groups with high income than for groups with low income. Yet ‘segregation’ is generally seen as a problem of remote mass housing suburbs. In the Swedish debate, calling an area ‘segregated’ has become a way of saying that is has a high immigration rate. Strictly speaking though, the level of segregation is by far the highest in all-native upper class villa suburbs, where the differences in ethnicity, income levels and education are the smallest. It is important to note that segregation is increasing also within other groups, and the lack of housing in the big cities, high housing prices and the gradual disassembly of the rental market are all factors that contribute to this development.

Segregation as a societal problem cannot be limited to the areas where some groups live, but has to do with where all people live.

ARCHITECTURE

Most of the architecturally significant buildings in this area are villas/houses dating from the 1900s. It seems that architects utilized the weath and prowess of Danderyd to design the ‘perfect’ home and experiment with both modern and traditional techniques, materials and detailing. In fact, a few of the villas, such as Villas Lind, Tallom and Markelius are the architects own homes, and it is in these examples that we can see the most experimentation.

As much as each villa or house differs from its neighbour, they all hold one common factor; a large garden. It is this vast area of luscious vegetation that lends the municipality its true character.

The only part of Danderyd that stands out from this ‘green county’ is Morby Centrum which was developed later during the 60s and the era of the ‘Million Programme.’ Unlike the villas with their large gardens and quiet roads, this area is dominated by high rise flats, busy roads and public transport links. This is the most dense part of the municipality with plans to densify it further, resulting in a signigicant difference in identity from the ‘centrum’ to the ‘suburb.’

FUTURE PLANS / DENSIFICATION

According to TMR (Tillväxt, miljö och regionplanering) 37.000 new apartments need to be build in greater Stockholm each year until 2030. The TMR distributes these numbers between the municipalities in the region by their total land area, density and already existing construction plans. By these calculations Danderyd is supposed to build 60-110 new dwellings each year for the next seventeen years, which comes to 1000-1900 in total. The municipality is one of the least dense in the region, with only 960 people per square kilometer. Despite of that fact Danderyd is expected to built the least number of dwellings in the upcoming years. One of the reasons given for this is to keep it’s characteristic of a ‘garden city’.

The area along the E-18 highway is again the main focus point for Danderys’s new development plan.

Before and during the ‘million programmet’ area new apartment blocks were built near the E-18 highway and a new center, Mörby centrum, formed with services such as a metro station, hospital and shops. This area has a very different atmosphere than the rest of the town, which is characterized by freestanding villas, mostly built in the early 1900’s.

In the masterplan for 2030 the municipality emphasize that these construction plans will not be carried out until the end of the period. This could mean the construction of more then a thousand apartments in a very short time period.

The densification of Danderyd is a complex issue, it is understandable to want to protect the old part of Danderyd as it was originally built but communities must also adapt to new times and needs. Some might argue that we are living the worst housing shortage since before the ‘milljonprogrammet’ in the 1960’s an 70’s. This also arises the question of municipalities’ social duties.

Each municipality needs to form a layout plan describing the general visions for the future building. A proposal is formulated by the municipal council and after that it needs to be presented for the public during at least two months so each inhabitant has a chance to formulate his or her opinion. The municipal council then makes the decision of the new layout plan. The layout plan is not apprenticed but it shows in what direction the municipal strives and works as a guideline when new detail plans is being formed.

The latest layout plan runs until 2030. The main goals for this are to build a new junction in Mörby and to densify the surroundings along E18. The political forces in Danderyd want to keep the sparsely populated residential area and it is described as a national interest to protect it. The municipal has received quite a lot of criticism for not taking responsibility in accepting refugees and building more residences. But the inhabitants in Danderyd share the resistance toward new housing projects. Groups such as Nimby have a strong support here.

EKERÖ MUNICIPALITY The municipality of Ekerö is situated to the west of Stockholm in lake Mälaren. Unusually rural for its close proximity to the city, the municipality suffers a lack of younger inhabitants. Large areas remain farmland, and car dependency is prevalent. Over the next few pages, the relationship between Ekerö and Stockholm will be explored, as well as the role of architects, construction companies, politicians etc. in the development of the contemporary city. Lastly, there will be a discussion about the million program era and Swedish suburbia in general.

The distinction between city and suburbia The centre core of Stockholm has since the 17th century been physically defined by its six customs stations. As the city is largely situated on a series of islands, there is a natural division into different areas and parts of the city. In the south lake Mälaren separates the city centre from the southern suburbs. Though closely situated in distance, the different sides of the bay are clearly distinct in terms of character;

whether they belong to the city centre or are considered to be suburbs.

In the north the division is not as clear at first sight. The separation between city and suburb is not made by nature but built by man. Major road constructions act as dividers and create two separate sides; city and suburb.

Ekerö is a municipality consisting of

02. EKERÖ

approximately 140 separate islandswhich creates a natural separation from other parts of greater Stockholm. To access the centre of Ekerö one has to pass through the island of Lovö, a mostly rural landscape where the royal castle is situated. As a consequence of the castle’s location, which is a world heritage site, the island is to be kept as an open landscape. No further expansion is planned. Thus the division between Ekerö centre and central Stockholm will remain.

One possible link in the future is the Stockholm Bypass, which is intended to link the traffic south of Stockholm to the traffic north of the city, without leading it through the actual city centre. The link will be a tunnel surfacing on Lovö. It will connect to the Ekerö main road and enable a direct link between Ekerö centre and Kungens kurva in the south and Kista and Sollentuna in the north. This link might increase the connection between Ekerö and Stockholm

in terms of faster transportation but it will not join them. Ekerö will still remain a rural suburb or exurb due to location.

In Ekerö the strategies for new developments are Färingsö stated in Översiktsplanen (ÖP), which currently states that 139 homes are to be built each year. One can ask whether Ekerö takes its responsibility in accommodating the needs of the ever growing Greater Stockholm – if all municipalities were to build at a similar rate, we would soon be facing extreme housing shortages.

The reason why construction is limited to this rather small number is to both meet the expectations of people moving into the municipality, expecting average suburban levels of services, and those of the current population, who want Ekerö to remain rural. Not putting more pressure on the already insufficient infrastructure is another concern.

The ÖP also states which parts of the

Ekerö

Helgö Färingsö

municipality are to be developed, and which are to be preserved. It defines “tätortsbandet” which are the areas in which more prominent change may be expected over the coming years, most notably in the area between Stenhamra on Färingsö, and Ekerö centrum.

In the northern parts of Färingsö the municipality will work to maintain the rural character. A citizen dialogue is in place, and while there is a local understanding for the need of population growth in order to sustain services, they are firm in their wish to avoid any extensive devolopments. The preference is for existing lots to be subdivided, and new houses are to be in keeping with local character.

The ÖP states that approximately half of the new homes should be apartments, of which the political aim is that 20% should be leasehold flats. This is a relative low percentage, compared to many large new projects in Stockholm in which that figure can be as high as 50 %. In fact no apartment blocks have been built since the Lovö extension of the Erskine area in centrum in the beginning of the nineties, apart from two “town villas” with a total amount of approximately 40 apartments.

Right now there are two developments under way, one by Wrangels väg and one by Ekerö strand, which together consists of 800 apartments to be built over the next fifteen years, more than doubling the current apartment stock. These are fairly central areas, with existing apartment blocks, and services capable of supporting a large number of new residents.

commerce. Naturally, everyone needs to make into town now and then, but the municipality tries to delimit the number of car motions.

Due to the fact that most people commute to the city for work, sprawl happens wherever something is built in the municipality. The strive is for new constructions to be built in areas in close connection to public transport and

Most likely the Stockholm Bypass will be realized, but any type of rail bounded traffic is not realistic. The traffic in the municipality is very much unidirectional, with 8000 traveling outwards every day, and 3000 inwards. One way of dealing with the congestion caused by this large number of commuters to Stockholm is to make it easier to run a business within the municipality. This is attempted by providing facilities and extending the fiber optics network.

WHO BUILDS THE CITY? The private sector dominates the housing market in the municipality. What is built mainly comes about in three ways, the first being the development of larger areas by companies such as NCC or Skanska. These homes are often catalogue houses, built in stages as the plots are bought. The second way is for private persons to build houses on empty plots, in existing neigbourhoods.

rural lot by a preliminary decision. This occurs more sporadicly, and there is no need for a local plan. Every year there are about 40 preliminary decisions handed out. A rough estimation is that the balance of what is being built by larger developers and smaller private initiatives is about equal. The difference is rather that private initiatives have a continuous pace, whereas bigger construction occurs rarely, but when they do the building is extensive.

The third way generally happens outside of these areas by parceling out a peace of a bigger

Bostäder, which owns and lets a total of 845 homes, in the form of rowhouses and multifamily buildings. As stated above, no new housing has been developed by the company since the early nineties.

So, the building of Ekerö is done by private persons and large scale construction companies. Nothing, in terms of housing, has been built directly by the municipality for the last twenty years. The role of the municipality is rather to decide when and where construction can take place, whereas design and financing come from private parties. Plans are developed by officials without political affiliation, working for the municipality.

These officials are, however, working under political influence, mainly on a local level, but indirectly also on regional one. What with the constant influx of people to Stockholm, there is a pressure on all the municipalities in the region to provide more housing. At the same time, there is concern on the local level for the capacity of the infrastructure, and the desire of the local population to preserve the rural character of Ekerö.

There are consequences to leaving the construction of the city solely to private interests. When profit is the main motivator,

the homes that are built are aimed at a certain demographic. This raises the question whether municipalities have a responsibility to supply housing for all segments of the population.

This is of course a political matter, and Ekerö has been under right wing rule for the last three decades. Most of what exist in terms of rental units came about during the previous social democratic rule. The question of who we build for seems, unsurprisingly, to be an ideological one.

Aside from housing, building the modern city means developing infrastructure. However, decisions regarding the development of tramways and such are made on county level rather than municipal, and the comparably small population of Ekerö makes it a low priority.

The most important infrastructural project concerning Ekerö at present, the Stockholm Bypass, was proposed by Swedish Transport Administration, and approved by the state government.

THE ROLE OF THE ARCHITECT – RALPH ERSKINE The best example of an individual architect’s influence on Ekerö is that of Ralph Erskine. His Quaker education influenced his “architectural philosophy”, and more generally ideas on the place of man in the society. The Quaker principles are pacifism, egalitarianism , individuality, and finally respect for the natural world. His wish to build Ekerö city center at the water’s edge instead of the middle of the land (facilitating road accesses for example) can easily illustrate the last Quaker principle.

When Erskine was designing on a city scale, he preferred to say he was building a community, instead of building facilities and housing. His first attention was to design and identify:

Density of Ekerö centre, Ekerö

Density of Trakvista centre, Ekerö

Density of Stockholm centre,

- The private domain of the individual: The dwelling - The semi-private world: The garden, the yard - The semi-public zone: The local green, the shop - The fully public realm: The town square, the shopping centre First building these different types of space, and then facilitating transitions between them, he always wanted to create a coherent and connected urban fabric. He liked to design

09. EKERÖ

urban fabrics with incidents, spatial contrasts, surprises and most importantly, country town scale. These rules are reflected in the planning of Ekerö Centrum.

THE FUTURE OF EKERÖ CENTRUM There are plans to develop the Centrum area in Ekerö. The focus has been on the visionary work and the development of a plan that gives downtown buildings, as designed by Ralph Erskine, a way to evolve into a local trading centre for the municipality’s residents. This work also includes proposals on infills of new housing and a comprehensive review of traffic and infrastructure, where great emphasis is on public transport in the future organization and localization.

This kind of housing will be quite independent, as the single family home still is the most popular in Ekerö. There are many different types of single family homes, and thus they create no clear identity for the city. For example, we can consider the housing designed by Sandellsandberg, built in 2012 in Ekerö. The plans express simplicity, good organisation and functionality of housing, but the appearance could be seen as banal and with no architectural qualities.

An important aspect is the wishes of the current inhabitants of Ekerö. As stated before, there is a strong desire to preserve the atmosphere and character of Ekerö, with its rich past still present in the Drottningholm Palace, Ekebyov castle, and medieval churches.

Architecture is faced with a great challenge: to develop the municipality and accommodate new residents, all the while preserving the environment and character. An example of architects endeavoring to address these matters is MVRDV, who are trying to invent a new kind of urban development. They draw inspiration from the slums of Caracas, to make a new neighbourhood in Liuzhou, China. They are trying to create a city without impacting the natural landscape. The same goals apply to Ekerö; architecture has to protect all of the qualities of the city, while continuing to grow.

This is the vernacular of architecture.

QUALITIES OF SWEDISH SUBURBIA The Million Programme suburbs still often carry a negative stigma. The term ‘Million Programme’ is nearly synonymous with decay, a lack of safety, and perceived social marginalization.

News of violence and immigrant riots are not uncommon, with occupants of these suburbs revolting against the living conditions, injustice, and overall lack of acknowledgment and aid from the mainstream society. The problem is circulatory, as generally, when the government steps in to improve the living standards of the residents through social programs, those who manage to find a better opportunity or job immediately move out, to be immediately replaced. Thus the end result is still that of the suburbs being considered as the housing for the immigrants and poorest groups of Sweden; a place where society is perceived as unsupportive and prospects for the future are disappointing.

The prospects that this type of housing could ever be considered appealing again is bleak.

Finding a solution to this problem is one of the most important challenges for urban planners in Stockholm today.

In Ekerö, we see examples of more successful Million Programme neighborhoods. As opposed to massive, brutalist, concrete apartment buildings, Ekerö is characterized by communities of single family houses. The original goals of the Million Homes Programme are clearly visible in the architecture and planning of these communities: that everyone should be given opportunities to live in good dwellings at feasible costs and in a stimulating and safe environment, and that the living and building environments should contribute to equal and dignified living conditions and, in particular, support good growth for children and youth. As a matter of fact, the extent to which these principles have been visualized in the architecture of Ekerö is so great, that simply strolling through the streets brings to mind Levittown, the original suburb in New York.

Each home is nearly identical, differentiated only by color and perhaps orientation.

This sense is not limited just to Million Programme neighborhoods. Modern and recently developed communities in Ekerö are abundant in luxurious but nonetheless catalog houses. There is a very strong sense of equality and social uniformity preserved in the planning of these suburbs (for both financial and social reasons). As stated above, any significant changes are unwelcome by the majority of residents. This poses a challenge for Ekerö, searching for a balance between some type of inevitable expansion and the consideration that must be given to those that are already living there, not wishing for considerable change.

First signs of human activity. Society by the sea.

History History First signs of human activity in Upplands Väsby date back to about 600 to 700 B.C. At this point in time, Upplands Väsby was located next to the sea. The main resources came from the sea and the main source of food came from fishing and hunting for seals and seabirds. Foreign coins have been found in many parts of Upplands Väsby, which indicates that global trading might have taken place here. Hill forts and ancient burial sites in forms of grave piles, stone formations and hills can be found all over Upplands Väsby. One of the most famous stone formations in Sweden is the 56 meters long ship-shaped formation located at Runsa, in the northwestern outskirts of Upplands Väsby. This ancient formation dates back to the 4th century A.D. The railroad between Stockholm and Uppsala was built from 1863 to 1866.

The station at Upplands Väsby was built in 1865 and next to this station grew a small village. In the beginning of the 1900s Upplands Väsby was just a small village surrounding the station. One man, Anton Tamm, owned all the land. In 1903, Tamm built the first large industry. It was the Väsby Werkstäder, a part of the large company of Optimus where Tamm was the head director. Väsby Werkstäder produced copper and brass piping; this will later give the area east of the tracks its name Mässingen, which is the Swedish word for “the brass”. In 1952 the decision was made to combine the three parishes of Ed, Fresta and Hammarby and the municipality of Upplands Väsby arose. The name came from the railroad station that had the name Upplands Väsby.

The final form of the municipality weapon was presented in 1961. The church in the middle represents the three churches of Ed, Fresta and Hammarby parishes. The cogwheels represent its industrial heritage.

Airplane flightpaths

Suggestion 1

The aircraft noise generated by the traffic to Arlanda is at times very noticeable in Upplands Väsby, which is located only 10 kilometers from the airport. This means that the airplanes sometimes fly over the central area as low as 600 meters and thus generate noise above the legal limit of noise for housing areas (70 db). The approaching flight paths over Upplands Väsby are currently under discussion and different flight paths are being suggested, all of which would mean that the airplanes would have to curve their path to the landing strip and thereby possibly halting the capacity of Arlanda as Sweden’s main airport.

UPPLANDS VÄSBY

PRECURSOR AND INNOVATOR IN URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND CIVIC PARTICIPATION The municipality of Upplands Väsby seems to live up to at least one of its catchwords “Väsby dares and do”. Considering the rather small size (it’s the 27th largest urban area in Sweden with 41.000 inhabitants) it has far more ongoing projects than other municipalities according to Anne-Sofie Arbegard who works as a land- and exploitation engineer at the Urban Development Office in the municipality. We talked to her and the municipal manager Björn Eklundh an early morning in the newly finished multifunctional building “Messingen”.

With only one day foresight we got invited to meet Arbegard, Eklundh and Gösta Norén (head of Growth and Development Office) to get a presentation of Messingen, present project and how they work with urban development in the municipality. It’s rather clear that communication is an important part of their work. The manager, who seems pretty comfortable in promoting “his” municipality, eloquently presented a well-prepared slide show. The most important project of today is of course the new stations area, Väsby Entré (Väsby Entrance), with a proposal by Zaha Hadid Architects.

The project has given the municipality a great amount of (positive) publicity since it was presented in October 2012. The architecture magazine Arkitektur compared the municipality with Malmö and describes the municipality as “cocky” and also mentions the different tools it uses to gain more civic participation, especially Väsby LABS. This project, Eklundh says, intends to do what the political parties did earlier internally when they had a lot of members, namely speak to the inhabitants. Now, when there is almost no members left, these kind of tools are very important if you want to build the urban context together with the citizens. The most important thing with civic participation though, is that you decrease the risk of appeals, he continue.

Personal engagement is important for progress. And in Upplands Väsby, there’s been many strong politicians and developers over the years. We (the municipality) have to precede if we want the society to change Björn Eklundh says . It’s important to push the limits and be imaginative to get things to happen. Don’t start by looking at the rules, but ask your self what you want to achieve he continues and also tells us that the municipality has a long tradition of participating in different national and international forums to get attention to the municipalitys work with city planning and urban development, such as MIPIM and Almedalen.

The municipality is also owner of a public housing company “Väsbyhem” that owns and manages approximately 4,400 apartments and about 30,500 square meters of commercial spaces in Upplands Väsby. We get the impression that the municipality uses their housing company in a very active way as a starter to take the first steps of new expansion areas, as the Gösta Norén puts into words: “If we have a public housing company and they don't build, why should we have them at all?” In the recent planned expansion “Eds Allé”, the municipality let VäsbyHem build the first steps of the expansion: the planned apartment buildings along the main road through the new neighborhood to create a better opportunity for the private investors and company to continue the development.

20. UPPLANDS VÄSBY The BO 85 Housing Exhibition You might ask yourself where this good confidence comes from. A brief look in the rear view mirror could give us the answer. In 1952 the municipality Upplands Väby was formed from a fusion of three smaller municipalities. All of them had a master plan of their own with land reservations for a new urban city centre. During the 1950’s these three plans were followed at the same time and it wasn’t until the mid 1960’s that one unified master plan could be determined. The architect and brain behind the plan, Jöran Curman, proposed the area by the train station as the new city centre, but in the end it was located to the area today known as Fyrklövern. Thus all attempt to create urbanity around the railway station were dissolved.

In 1948, VäsbyHem was formed. In a short period of time it became an influent part in the urban development. It was a pioneer in Sweden when service facilities were introduced adjacent to the housing. Both the Chairman, Eivor Springe, and the CEO of VäsbyHem, Kewe Glemne, played important roles when it was decided by the government that Upplands Väsby was going to host the first Housing expo in Sweden since the great Stockholm exhibition in 1930. BO 85 was a success, receiving some 200,000 visitors during four weeks in the summer of 1985. Both Swedish and foreign politicians, developers and people in general came to Upplands Väsby for this event and more than 500 new dwellings were shown. The major part of these were apartments (rental and condominiums) but 20 or more were single family houses. Almost all of them are still in use.

On of the things in the exhibition that got many visitors attention was the open plan between kitchen and living room in some apartments. The Swedish model proclaims a small (working) kitchen for one person. During the first part of the 20th century a various number of investigations were made to find out the perfect measurements and number of cabins etc needed in a (Swedish) kitchen. But in 1985 the society had changed quite a bit; women were now working in the same way as men and the society was more equal than ever. A kitchen connected with the rest of the apartment with room for at least two adults was what many people longed for. The traditions and social structure was about to change and architects took that into their design.

The brief goals of the BO 85 Housing Exhibition were to: - Demonstrate Swedish attainments in the housing sector to the Swedish public and visitors from abroad - Stimulate and widen the debate on the social and physical environment og housing areas - Encourage increased tenant participation in housing management and the integration of community services in housing areas - Stimulate production and technical developments and encourage improvements to the indoor and outdoor environments of housing areas - Encourage developments in energy provision and conservation in housing areas, and finally to - Enable a wide section of the public to study new housing areas The overriding theme for the BO 85 Housing Exhibition was “Building for Community” By looking back we can also find that the words of Björn Eklundh aren’t new for the municipality. They can be attributed to the social democratic councillor Jimmy Björk as his describes the political ambition in municipality as a wish to put the individual citizen in focus. In the catalogue for the exhibition in 1985 he formulate the following questions: “What do people need? What do people want? How should dwellings and local environments be formed?

What service is needed? How can the individual citizen affect?” These questions are still highly relevant and almost the same can be found in the Väsby LABS project.

20. UPPLANDS VÄSBY Väsby Labs Väsby Labs is a project initiated by the municipality of Upplands Väsby that has a different approach to urban planning and that wishes to encourage new constellations of builders, innovators, urban planers, citizens, politicians and business owners. The project aims to do this by uniting these different private and public operators early on in the planning process.

“The starting point of the Väsby Labs project are to make politics, business, social services and inhabitants collaborate much earlier than before and in new ways that challenge the existing structures and conventional ways of urban planning” The main geographical focus is on the center of Väsby and specifically the area Fyrklövern although the municipality has expressed their hopes of this becoming a viable business model for urban planning in the rest of Sweden but also in other similar areas internationally. The neighborhood of Fyrklövern was built in the 1970’s and reflects the ideals of that time very well in the sense that it works very much like a complete unit. With ten blue high-rise buildings with schools, businesses, healthcare, parks and parking all within the area and with everything in it’s fixed place. The Väsby Labs project can be seen as a response from the municipality to the changing demands and challenges of society to day.

The project has worked on getting all theses different stakeholders together by for example staging different interactive experiments on the large gravel covered field right outside the mall in the center of the neighborhood, which acts as the base of operations for the project. One of these experiments included printing a large satellite photo of the area and allowing people, but mainly younger students, to arrange and rearrange wooden blocks to make up different buildings and spaces. Alongside with these kinds of more experimental installations there has also been international architects involvement as well as other activities meant to encourage a different approach to the problems of urban planning. All the ideas and projects that emanates from these activities are then gathered in the online portfolio where a number of briefs are presented, for example “Can smaller apartments bring bigger opportunities?” or “What could the suburb learn from the inner city?”. All these briefs make out the core of the project and are supposed inspire investors, find new driving forces and to give the public more opportunities to influence what’s going on in their area in a more constructive way then the usual town hall meeting kind of interaction between the municipality and the public. This is meant to be a more organic way of working The goal is to build 1200 new homes in the area, Fyrklövern, as well as schools, restaurants and services to breath new life into the area by creating a more varying environment and thus attracting new people to the area but also to create an environment better suiting the needs of current inhabitants.

Specifically this could for example mean building more small apartments to the area more attractive for students etc.

Two years after the project started, the Swedish Architectural Magazine “Arkitektur” recognizes the effect of the project and writes on their webpage: “The interest in urban planning has increased significantly in Upplands Väsby, which is an effect of Väsby Lab started two years ago.”

Case #1 Väsby Entré One of the main projects ahead in the municipality is the development of the new station area. The strategic vision is, according to the municipalities glossy broschures, to create a platform for business, education and culture and the internationally well known architect Zaha Hadid Architects was invited to make a proposal for the new station area. How could this happen? In the small municipality in the outskirts of Stockholm? Let's take a deeper look.

In 2011 a bunch of contractors proposed to the municipality that they wanted to build housing in the station area and the same year a new project group was founded by the municipality and the newly employed Anne-Sophie Arbegaard was appointed as the project leader. The task for the project was to investigate how a new station area could work and looks like. It was important that the station area should work as a meeting point for the citizens with shops in the ground floors of the building and a dense ”city-like” feeling. In 2011 a pre-study was initiated, but the task for the pre-study was only set to investigate new developments of housing on the west side of the railway tracks. In 2012 the municipality expanded the task for the pre-study and also included the east side of the railway tracks and the project grew bigger. In 2013 they started to form guidelines for the projects and to initiate the work with the planning program, which means that there is still a long way to go before it's time to realize the project.

Since 2011 different architects have been involved in the pre-studies and the municipality also got a lot of input from their citiziens through a series of participation workshops. Anne-Sophie Arbegard tells us that they did both arrange traditional open meetings, where everyone that are interested can come and participate, but also tried to find out new ways of connecting to their citizens. To reach out to the citizens that Anne-Sohpie means is the hardest ones to reach, the parents of small children, people from the city planning office went to the local indoor swimming pool to have a quick chat with the parents when they walked to and from the pool. The city planning office also arranged a whole day with the first year students at the local gymnasium to hear their opinions and future visions for their home town. According to the municipalitys own website, the residents in Upplands Väsby thinks that the citizens is allowed to be the involved in the development of the municipality to a large extent. This was demonstrated in the study “Kommuners kvalitet i korthet” in which 130 municipalities participated.

Since the dialogues with the citizens demanded something bold and different, Anne-Sophie consulted the city planning office director Fredrik Drotte about how she would do to meet the demand of the citizens. He proposed that she should get in contact Zaha Hadid Architects, because of their special artistic ambition. Anne-Sophie says that he said it almost as a joke because no one of them believed that the office would take up their request. Two days later the office replied that they would like to participate in the project and the work began.

20. UPPLANDS VÄSBY The commission that the municipality gave to Zaha Hadid Architects was composed by some different tasks: - To create a landmark - To give the station area a clear and unique identity - To give the project an artistic expression - To propose a new bus terminal, a passage over the railway, a noise barrier and a public place Zaha Hadid Architects invoiced 2,1 million SEK for the project and Anne-Sophie means that it is a reasonable sum for the work that has been done and that a Swedish company would have invoiced just as much, but with a lower architectural ambition and less developed research.

Since it's not allowed for a municipality to procure just one selected firm for a job in Sweden, (according to the Law of Public Procurement - Lagen om offentlig upphandling/LOU) Anne-Sophie was prepared for the discussion that later took place. The municipality chose namely to sign a contract directly with Zaha Hadid, meaning that no other architect's office had the opportunity to bid for the commission. Because of the fact that they hired Zaha Hadid Architects for their special artistic expression, the municipality lawyers found that is would be possible to do so legally – but they all knew that it would cause a debate. Experts points to decided cases in the Supreme Administrative Court, which shows that it is very difficult to find support for exceptions in LOU for artistic reasons and the critics means that architecture is not art in legal terms. According to the experts, the exemption should be seen as an opportunity for a municipality to let a local artist make a decoration or a museum to purchase a specific painting.

So – is Zaha Hadid's vision gonna be realized?

Anne-Sophie says that you can never be sure about anything in these kinds of city planning processes and that she is satisfied if only a part or at least something of the vision is realized, where she mentions the bus terminal traditionally built by NCC as an example. The estimated total sum of the project is calculated to 1010 million SEK and Anne-Sophie explains that its a cost that the municipality is incapable of bearing on their own, so they really need to find co-financers. Some co-financers are already engaged in the project: the contractors that first proposed the project for the municipality and Zaha Hadid Architects made a short movie of the proposal, which the municipality use as often as they can when they attend different events and forums to try to attract new co-financers. But as Ann-Sophie expressed in the article “Ta i från tårna” the project already had some success.

“-Zaha Hadid Architects proposal will be processed in the next planning stage. But in some sense, we can already say that by asking her we have already put Väsby on the map. We have already received a lot of attention, she says. " So even if the project never will be realized in the way that the visionary proposal by Zaha Hadid Architects looks like, the general publics imagined picture of Upplands Väsby has changed and Anne-Sophie delighted tell us that people that before this project didn't even now if Upplands Väsby was south or north of Stockholm now is interested and engaged in the future of the municipality.

The last years the municipality has been working with shaping their visions for the future and put them to words. Its clear that Upplands Vasby wants to communicate that they are an energetic and progressive municipality. They want to be attractive to a wide range of people and attract more residents – in 27 years they are planning to grow with about 20.000 more residents.

Upplands Väsby promotes in the Vision 2040 they always strive to be unconventional and embrace new ideas. How is this reflected in the city planning of today?

We got the opportunity to talk to Fredrik Drotte, head over the planning department in the municipality.

How do you work with realizing the visions of “Vision 2040” in terms of city planning?

FD: The “Vision 2040” is a very fresh document and today we just had a meeting where we talked about changing the way we work with master plans.

That document is a very important tool because it's one of the best ways to work strategically. Of course we have to divide the visions and break it in to smaller parts to make it possible to work with, but a lot of the words in the vision has a direct connection to our work with shaping the city. But we also want to work with a wider perspective, what our environment has to do with the society more generally. We want to use city planning as a lever for creating other values, such as security, ecology and social factors. It's easy to see the physical aspects – such as visual connections and public ground floors – but the social economical profits of good city planning is harder to vision and to talk about.

In the vision you can also read that “In Väsby there is a strong tradition of doing the unconventional. We brace new ideas and try new ways” How does that reflect in city planning? And where does that spirit come from?

FD: I think that it is a tradition that was founded with BO85, its much easier for us to carry on working with questions of innovation since the culture and tradition is so strong. In our municipality there's a lot of freedom to talk about innovation and new ways of doing things and the politics also find that important. If we image that Upplands Väsby had been another municipality, such as Vallentuna, with a lot of high-income earners and everyone is happy living there, then there is no need to have political courage and to try new ways of doing things. Even though we don't have the same problems today that spirit is still present.

Is there a difference in working in the municipality when the political governance changes?

FD: It’s hard to make a general comparison but just before I started working here in Upplands Väsby, the political governance changed from the Social Democratic governance to the center-right coalition and I can definitely see some of the changes. This meant that they started with a strong mission: to privatize and dissolve unwanted structures in the society. One example is that before that time Upplands Väsby had over 50 percent rental apartments and almost all of them were placed in the central parts which created a problematic socioeconomic structure. So a big mission for the politics was to dissolve this pattern, and of course this changed the conditions for the city planning. Now we have almost a third of every form of tenure, and that’s something we welcome because it means that we now have a better mixture and composition of ages, ethnicity, income and so on.

How do you secure high quality in the architectural and city planning projects in your municipality? What tools are you using?

FD: I believe strongly that you have collaborate much earlier in the process. All the technical aspects, the engineers and the builders need to understand the visions and the planners need to keep their feet on the ground. In our industry there’s a schism between the architects and planners on one side and the engineers and surveyors on the other side. If everyone is collaborating much earlier we get a deeper understanding of each others problems and opportunities. And it’s also important that everyone understands that if we don’t invest in qualities, there will be consequences.

We also have all the concrete planning methods, all the plans and the development agreements. But I have to say that it’s very hard to demand any ”soft values” in the plans and if someone wants to do a bad project in terms of architectural quality – it is possible. I think the solution to that is to engage the politics much more, but of course they need help to be able to understand architecture and have a lot of experts to assist them. Some architects think that it’s their task to determine what good quality is, but I think that’s wrong. If we compare to other areas where the municipality is responsible, let’s say the health care, of course the politicians are not experts in all areas but why shouldn’t architecture also be decided by representative democracy as everything else?

20. UPPLANDS VÄSBY

And at last, what do you see as Upplands Väsbys biggest future challenge?

FD: We have to shorten to the distances, which you can interpret in a lot of different ways. If we come closer to each other we save green areas and we create possibilities that is impossible otherwise, just to mention two examples. Some people believes that cities creates poverty but the researchers mean that it’s the other way around, the city attracts poor people because in the city you find more opportunities to change your situation – just because of the density. That’s why it’s important that we, in all possible ways, work with density.

04. HANINGE Housing

Sited in suburbia southern of Stockholm, Haninge it’s a municipality characterized for the multiple type of Housing, going from the summer houses in Dalaro till the more simple cooperative apartments.

In fact in the different parishes of the municipality the discrepancy is so big that even exist areas with only residential villa, like Gudö, other areas closer to Handen are more densified and are characterized by the collective dwellings.

It’s residencial area has been having a enormous growth since the 50’s from last century, and the tendancy it’s to keep growing.

Since the 90’s the number of residential units grewfrom 27.500 till aproximatlly 33.500, and it is expected that in the year of 2030 it will be around the 45.000.

Main Roads Väg 73, Nynäsvägen.

The road connects Nynäshamn Stockholm through Haninge and Huddinge municipalities. The ever-increasing traffic, particularly heavy traffic, combined with the road at several places substandard design, it risk creating an increasing number of incidents and accidents. Current path is fraught with security flaws so it is very important position that ongoing planning and design process Väg 259, Haningeleden.

The road connects Haninge E4 via Huddinge / Flemingsberg. In a region like Stockholm with communal housing and labor market, it is crucial to the region’s progress towards several urban centers to provide radial transport given the necessary capacity enhancements. Equally important is to develop good cross communications to get necessary dynamics.

Väg 260, Gudöbroleden Gudöbroleden is one of Haninge’s most important roads as it partly serves as the main street for all traffic including cyclists between the municipality’s northern and central parts, and connects the municipality with Tyresö and further into Stockholm. The design of the (broad and straight) has led to the speeds become too high and a number of serious accidents have also occurred at level crossings along the way. Vägverket has started a project to reduce speed and improve traffic safety for vulnerable road users.

Väg 257, Tungelstavägen Is a two-lane main road that runs parallel to the railway line between Västerhaninge Tungelsta. The road is served by approx. 7000 vehicles / day and the proportion of heavy traffic is about 8%. In 2002 a new, separate pedestrian and bicycle path was built along the entire route. Speed is reduced to 30 km / h past Tungelsta School.

Väg 556 - Stavsvägen The road is a narrow two-lane road that connects Tungelsta Krigslida and Suffering (via Stavby) the way 73. The road has a low standard, both in terms of width and tight curves. The road has no separate space for pedestrians and cyclists Väg 227, Dalarövägen Dalarövägen is a two-lane road with a need for widening at some places and improved intersections. Crossings with roads to Årsta Havsbad and on Gålö should be studied for improved mobility and traffic safety. The need for pedestrian and bicycle path along the entire stretch from Dalarö to Handen has long existed and is particularly evident during the summer months.

Söderbyleden To reduce through traffic by hand and improve the connection between Brandbergen and Highway 73, the municipality has been studying a possible new route for the road between Klockarleden and Trafikplats Jordbrovägen.

Public Transportations Busses In Haninge there are bus services between urban centers of Dalarö, Gålö, Söderby Brygga and Årsta Havsbad. Himmelsö, Herrö, Yxlö and Muskö is reached by train and bus via Osmo. Oxnö, Svärdsö, Torö and Lisö reached by bus from Nynashamn.

Trains Today it is possible to go by commuter train directly to the port of Nynashamn. Port capacity in Nynashamn will gradually be expanded and the availability from the region will be improved. The unique location of a commuter rail station in the port should be used more widely.

Fairways Outside Haninge and Nynäshamns municipalities are buoyed main routes for shipping. West of Torö, Lisölandet and further up in Himmerfjärden is the main road that leads up to Södertälje and into the lake Mälaren. The fairway has a minimum depth of 9 meters. East of our coasts is the single main road up towards Stockholm with a detour into Nynashamn.

The trail is at least 10 meters deep and goes over open water except between Ornö and the mainland, where the cruise is between islands. This inner fairway is of national interest and use of certain vessels in bad weather because the waters there are calmer than in the outer fairway that goes further out to the sea.

Boats and Ferries One of the most important factors for life in the archipelago is the transport system. Opportunities to travel, transport goods and to send and receive messages are the preconditions for a living archipelago. From Dalarö, Årsta Havsbad, Nynashamn and Ankarudden, there are boats and ferries to the archipelago. It is from the Rural Area, Utö and Ornö as people commute by boat or ferry. To Utö commute about 30 people in each day while about 70 commute, on Ornö is number 10 and 70. To Muskö commute approximately 1,300 people through the tunnel. The largest group that travels with the ferries is tourists and summer residents.

04. HANINGE 04. HANINGE Infrastructure

Proposed New Roadsystem The main differences in the proposed new network is that some main roads have been classified into local streets and some new links to the highways have been added.

Goals: - All trafic should have a common roadsystem (car, bus, emergency services).

- All road users should have no more than 400 meters to the nearest main road.

- The goal is that no one is killed or seriously injured in the traffic.

A New Station Nynäsbanan runsthrough the municipality and is double tracked from Älvsjö to Västerhaninge then, there’s a single track with only two places for meetings Tungelsta and Ösmo. Disturbance on Nynäsbanan tends to spread throughout the commuter rail network why Banverket conducted a feasibility study of measures to increase capacity on the route Västerhaninge - Nynashamn.

The feasibility study includes the location of the so-called partial double track and platform extensions. Haninge locality has the character of a city strip extending along Nynäsbanan, so there is already a good basis for commuter traffic. This base will increase dramatically in the future as the planned investments available on a dense urban environment in Handen and the new municipal district “Vega”. In addition to these two initiatives, new residential and commercial buildings will be built in locations along Nynäsbanan.

Efforts on Nynäsbanan , for increased capacity and in particular reduced interference is therefore extremely necessary. Within the municipality there are six commuter rail stations ( Haninge Jordbrovägen , Västerhaninge, Krigslida, Tungelsta and Hemfosa ).

In the ongoing planning for new housing in Stockholm - Property assignment - Haninge has shown the possibility to build approximately 2000 - 3000 new homes in the municipal district of Vega.

A crucial prerequisite for the planning and construction of a new municipal district in one of the region perhaps best locations - Vega, is that a new commuter rail station will be built. A rough estimate of the passenger base shows that the station meets the requirements that tend to be on the number of residents in a particular area.

Added to this is that if a station is being built, much of the northern parts of Norrby, Vendelsömalmsvägen gets closer by car and bus to Vega instead of Haninge. A special investigation of public transport for Vega is now progressing. In line with the municipality’s efforts to develop a sub-regional center, the municipality in the area closest to the rail station in Handen has developed a proposal for a program called Campus Haninge. In order to enable the extensions described is a condition that existing bus terminal relocation and simultaneously improved to offer simpler change between bus and rail . In order to reduce car traffic a hefty investment in public transport extent is required.

AREAS OF MILITARY ACTIVITIES

High Medium Low

The army has an important role in Haninge. The garnisson is the second employer and one of the biggest landowners in the municipality.

The military facilities and training areas are spread all over specially on the eastern part into the archipelago and the sea.

After the 1990 the military activities had been drastically reduced and the land had been transfered into civil usage.

The actual and the future international political situation may stop this trend and maybe start a redevelopment of the facilities in the area.

04. HANINGE Tourism

Pictures from Huvudskär in Haninge archipelago

Pictures from Tyresta National Park Tourism Slogan: “Experience the archipelago and the wilderness” The Haninge archipelago consists of 3,600 islands and skerries, including some of the best-known and most visited islands of the Stockholm archipelago. Here you can satisfy your desire for peace and quiet in untouched nature or enjoy swimming, fishing, canoeing and water skiing. You can dine in the cozy island restaurants and choose the type of accommodation that suits you best. To visit the archipelago, take the boat from Stockholm, Nynäshamn or from Årsta Havsbad and Dalarö if you are in Haninge.

It is not only the great archipelago that attracts tourists to Haninge. In Haninge you can wander through unique wilderness, stroll in enchanting old-growth forests and take a dip in cool woodland lakes in Tyresta National Park. Haninge has 20 nature reserves, a national park and several outdoor recreation areas, manors and parks, offering you a wide variety of natural, cultural and historical content.

The area has been inhabited for at least 9,000 years and has many exciting places in the landscape that carries the stories of people who lives here before. Visit great castles, churches, ancient monuments and natural sites, a few examples is Häringe castle, Årsta Castle, the medieval churches; Österhaninge church and Västerhaninge church and also Sweden second-largest Iron Age burial site Jordbrovägen cemetery.

The next tourist attraction in Haninge may be the Hobbit village in Muskö. The world’s probably first hobbit village will soon be formed and hopefully by next year you can live as a Hobbit in the Hobbit village. The village is meant to serve as a watering hole for busy townspeople. Possibly the village will become selfsufficient, with its own brewery, bakery and dairy. The first house to be built will probably be the hobbit pub. In order to create a healthy livening environment and in order to make ecological houses the building material will be local, natural and recycled materials.

Maybe a common sight in Muskö landscape in a few years?

DEVELOPMENT EXAMPLE

Varby 1951 -

Before the miljoprogramet only few private houses following a organic pattern.

-

There is a main road, but it doesn´t go into the residencial area.

-

There isn´t any public transportation. Most of the houses where holiday houses that didn´t need a regular connection to the city.

-

Most of the land is greenery: parks and woods.

Varby 2013 -

The planing after the miljonprogramet.

-

The buildings follow an ortogonal structure with space between them.

-

The new building became the new center.

-

Since there was a need of public transportaton to the city, the railway line was drawn thought the center.

DEVELOPMENT EXAMPLE

Varby future

•

Avoid segregation by building new buildings betwen the miljonprogrammet buildings.

•

Mantain important and apreciated natural areas and parks, used by the inhabitants in their free time.

•

Create green walks conecting the residential areas to the natural areas. So that inhabitants feel they live close to the nature, but at the same time there isn´t as much segregation as before.

•

Conect the town to the city center by public transport, as many of the inhabitants of the area need to go to the city center.

•

Different roadways for cars and pedestrians. The center of the town is for pedestrian use and the outskirts of the town are for cars, with only one road crossing the town.

•

Sparvag syd (a proposed tram line in southern Stockholm) is to conecting the different areas of Huddinge. Nowdays the only possible comunication is by bus which takes a long time. The project is very controversial since SL considers it too expersive, but the municipality of Huddinge is in favour and trying to carry it out.

Postcard from Kallhäll, ca 1970 What does it mean to be Järfälla - a muncipality in the immediate vicinity of Stockholm - in the year of 2013? What are the challenges, and what is their history? During one week, our group of eight students have searched for answers to these questions.

Despite being a quite young muncipality with its current borders, Järfälla has a long history, which still today has left its marks in the protected cultural heritage sites that frequently spots the forest. When Järfälla boomed in the 1970’s, they became part of the numerous barriers that separates the residential districts, just as did the road networks and other principles of modernist planning.

Our work tries to describe Järfälla from a number of perspectives. Starting with a personal reflection on the atmospheres as experienced by two persons with no previous knowledge of the municipality, we want to show the diversity of the area and the human dimension. With a timeline of major events, it is easier to grasp the width of the challenges of today. This is combinated with demographics and statistics on housing conditions. Finally, we shortly explain the future plans of the municipality on general level and in specific projects.

other typologies. However, it is clear to us that not all areas get the same attention. Interesting projects are mainly concerned with the southern parts and areas along existing infrastructure. In the huge single-family housing districs, still very car dependent areas, little is done to decrease barriers and diversify. Also, roads as barriers are hardly challenged.

Some centrum projects, lite that in Viksjö, is less credible than others since they do not include additions to the urban fabric.

- Although the residential segregation in the municipality hardly changed since the 90’s, much needs to be done. The city architect said he lacked a perspective of integration, mostly of immigrants, in the physical planning. Parts of the government want to build attractive housing to attract more taxes. How this can be done without increasing segregation is unclear.

- Generally, the municipality tries to destill the qualities of both urban and green environment to make them as intense and efficient as possible. However, there are also opposite strategies for the integration with the nature. There is also a need to tie the green wedge of Järva tighter together, for instance bridging Stäketvägen.

We have gone through a lot of material in our work, and had a very rewarding meeting with the city architect of Järfälla.

Through the work, we have found a number of critical issues that needs more attention in the future. These include:

- The efforts of regional planning must increase. The situation is better than earlier, but lack of collaboration still threaten to create barriers between areas.

- The local government strive towards a spacially diverse environment, and work with completing existing areas with

- There are conflicts between different commercial areas due to overestablishment, which seems to continue in the future.

ATMOSPHERE AND TYPOLOGIES

We begin with a personal impression of the atmosphere that came to our mind while walking through the municipality of Järfälla , and wish to show how diverse the municipality can be.

Kallhäll Stäket

Firstly, we have the area of Kallhäll/Stäket to the north - the only center situated at the coastline of the lake Mälaren - which mainly consists of free-standing large scale buildings in otherwise natural areas.

Jakobsberg, which is situated in the middle of Järfälla, is its main center and houses vital facilities and infrastructure.

West of Jakobsberg you will find Viksjö, which is a residential area consisting of almost solely single family houses.

And finally, there is Barkaby/Skälby to the south, which is seperated into a residential area and an industrial and commercial area.

There you will also find a former airport which is recently now used as a plot for new developments.

Though the coastline is not very dense, there are walkways that help you to enjoy the natural landscape.

Kallh채ll center : a very small garden-square where one can rest encircled by storefronts.

ATMOSPHERE AND TYPOLOGIES Kallhäll Stäket large-scale shapes in the nature

Some large-scale curved blocks of flats rise up from the forest-covered grounds.

They are part of the ‘Miljonprogram’ (1965-1974).

Ulvsätra : A big housing project, based on an atypical and highly symmetrical plan.

Other large-scale curved blocks rising from the ground.

They are part of Miljonprogrammet as well.

An example of Miljonprogrametâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s housing: These blocks of flats are arranged in a repetitive and parallel order, thus emphasizing perspective views of them in conjunction.

Jakobsberg has many facilities (cultural, historical, administrative, sports) contained within its center, including the middle school pictured . Its wide spread and causes the distances to be insurmountable to a walker, and are better suited for cars.

ATMOSPHERE AND TYPOLOGIES Jakobsberg the main center of J채rf채lla

In Jakobsberg center, the paved ground acts like a carpet floor : there is no distinction between urban spaces (walkways, roads, greenery...).

Some buildings in the center of Jakobsberg are tall and slender, which gives pedestrians and onlookers an impression of monumentality.

The Commercial area, where large-scale structures such as warehouses (IKEA) and parking lots cause this territory to be spread out and empty.

These single row-houses were built between the 1960’s and the 1980’s : they are very ‘petit bourgeois’ with the small fenced private gardens.

This architectural style is very repetitive, but the owners tried to individualize their homes by using different colors on the façades and caring for their gardens.

This area contains nothing but single-houses, making the neighborhood very peacefull and too quiet. There’s no activity of any kind besides housing.

ATMOSPHERE AND TYPOLOGIES Viksjรถ the single-houses district

These six-storeys blocks of flats belong to the Miljon Programmet, and resemble a similar typology as the whole municipality.What is striking is the importance given to cars (because the unhabitants depend on them); empty space is given to parking lots between the buildings.

This school is part of the very small center of Viksjรถ, which contains some social facilities for the residential area around.

Another house typology that we met in this area is the semidetached houses : one house which is divided into two dwellings.

Industrial area, impression of large sizes and emptiness similar to the commercial area in Jakobsberg.

Repetition of single family living in own houses with gardens, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;my home is my castleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

ATMOSPHERE AND TYPOLOGIES Barkarby Sk채lby the fast developing industrial and residential area

These very new buildings (2 to 5 years old) are an example of new interpretation for blocks of flats; they look like buildings of the Miljon Programmet, but their lack of repetition/parallell placement changes the space in between.

These wooden houses are an example of new interpretation for single family homes. They have large terraces but no fences; it feels like being in a small community.

This is a big construction site, on the former airport terrain. This area is under development, blocks of flats are being built.

TIMELINE

1876 Jakobsbergs train station is built The rail accessibility would prove to make this area attractive for city inhabitants who would later seek to move out from the crowded cityscape.

1905 The Crown purchases Järvafältet This was done to establish new military training grounds.

Residential plots in Jakobsberg were also bought in order to slow future expansion.

1915 Barkarby airfield is established Over the years military infrastructure would be added, but at this time it was merely used as a landing strip.

1930 75% of the population is urbanized.

1901 Birger Svenonius purchases Barkarby and Kyrkby The land was divided into 78 plots, and 60 family houses were built. Despite lacking a waterfront the rural aspects attracted the inhabitants.

1906 Bolinders Mekaniska Verkstad The company developed 15 family houses for its employees to occupy.

1920 40% of the population is urbanized For the time being this was a very rural community, but 1920 marks the time at which urbanization would begin in earnest.

1940: Bolinders expands, straining the housing provision in Kallhäll 1945: First housing blocks are developed, initially in Kallhäll and then Jakobsberg Since there was no definite dominating community the development was largely independent between the worker society of Kallhäll and families of the rest of the municipality, and at the time grew in that order.

1953: Bolinders employees become able to purchase their properties.

Measures were taken to achieve this because there was a concern that companytied housing would make it difficult to leave the company.

This spelled the end of company-controlled housing, leading to Bolinders selling off its residential properties to HSB.

1960: Increased development causes Jakobsberg to become the official center of the municipality.

This illustrates how it was becoming difficult for a single commercial element to keep up with the developing community that was growing up around it.

1950 Housing blocks are developed in Barkarby Being among the later areas that were developed, yet close to road and rail connections, it is possible that the extra space available would make Barkarby largely a commercial area. Key destinations there is the Ikea store and the Barkarby marketplace.

1955 95% of the population is urbanized

The low-density typologies dominate areawise (19%) while providing only 38% of the housing. This renders the multifamily housing more than ten times more surface efficient.

There is a huge typological segregation, often separated by areas of commercial, public or industrial use.

Considering the plans of the local government, this seems to be adressed from a one-sided perspective: making complements/densification in the dense areas while leaving the lowrise housing carpets as they are.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF JÄRFÄLLA

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF JÄRFÄLLA The challenges and goals of Järfälla The Järfälla municipal office has set up six challenges and future goals. The first one, Sustainable Järfälla, refers to the striving for a good balance between ecological, social, economical and spatial sustainability. The second one, Urban Järfälla, is aiming at developing and maintaining a high quality on the built environment. The third one, Valuable Growth is about increasing the accessibility of the natural and cultural environment. The fourth one, High Competence Business Environment, is about improving the conditions for commercial activity, research and higher education. The fifth one, Smart Infrastructure refers to increasing the usage of public transport and developing the pedestrian and the bicycle paths. The sixth one, A Järfälla for Everyone, is aiming at, as the name is indicating, that Järfälla as a municipality should be attractive for different kinds of people and for people in different stages of their lives.

Until year 2030, Järfälla has some important commitments as a municipality. These are among other to build for 25 00030 000 people until 2030. They want to develop a more regional city centre Barkaby-Jakobsberg, which can be an attractive and competitive part in the region. They also want to preserve and strengthen the green areas like for example Järvakilen and Görnvälnkilen. Regarding public tranport, the Mälarbanan will be extended from two to four tracks and there will be railbound public transport between Stockholm west and Akalla/Kista.

Future scenario Pathways • • •

More suburb than city Close to nature and water Direction outward

In this scenario Järfälla keeps the character of a suburb with medium densed pathways stretching out over the municipality. Mälaren becomes more accesible with for example housing at Sandudden and boattraffic on Mälaren. The longer distances will make it harder for the public transport and the use of cars will probably not decrease. There is also a risk for segregation, where people doesn’t mix. It’s harder for commercial activities to establish, but is more suitible for smaller and self-employed companies. The risk of Järfälla becoming a dormitary town is present. This scenario will probably attract high-income families and people +55 years.

Future scenario Single city centre • • •

Jakobsberg-Barkaby as a regional city centre Attractive for bigger companies, restaurants and other urban activities Direction inward

In this scenario Jakobsberg-Barkaby becomes a new regional city centre with a clear city character. The city wants to compete with other municipalities in the region by creating a rich urban life with a lot of meeting places and establishment of commercial activities. The city centre strengthen, but other areas in the rest of Järfälla weaken. The public transport will be more used and the pedestrian and bicycle streets will also be developed. New bold architecture will be introduced to give the city an identity and an attractive centre. Not as close to nature and water, but less risk for segregation.

Future scenario Multiple centres • • •

Strengthen the feeling of the suburb Multiple smaller centres Direction inward

This scenario will emphasize Järfälla as a suburb with four smaller city centres which have their character and identity, Jakobsberg, Barkaby, Kallhäll and Viksjö. There will be an even spread of commercial activities in the municipality, but there is a risk of segregation between the different centres. Also a risk for isolation and homogenization. The public transport can be developed which leads to less usage of cars.

This is an investigation done by Järfälla kommun and carried out by Spacescape. They looked at the three possible future scenarios regarding four important aspects. Closeness to railway stations, accessebility to urban activities, the density/mix between residential and commercial areas and portion of building on unexploited ground. The scenario single city centre was valued the best in three of the four categories (marked with red). Is seems like Järfälla is going in the direction of the outcome of this investigation. They are currently working on the big project Barkabystaden which is the beginning of the densification around the new regional city centre.

Which future direction does the inhabitants of Järfälla want? Do they want to keep the suburb or develop a stronger city centre? There seems to be a conflict between the wills of the citizens and the local government. On next page, you can see the result from some workshops and surveys.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF JÄRFÄLLA

The project called Kajen mot det gröna (The dock towards the greenery) was about investigating sustainable city structures where city and nature are supposed to meet. This is one of the challenges for the future Järfälla. They need to build more, but at the same time preserve the green qualities. In this project, the inhabitants of Järfälla were invited to participate in workshops to discuss how the city would meet the green areas by for example Mälarvägen/Rånäsvägen. They were also asked to list the types of cities they preferred. As shown in the diagram above, the city types that the inhabitants liked the most was the small village and the gardening city. They were most negative towards a functionalistic city and more bold architecture.

Järfälla should keep its character as a suburb.

The inhabitats were to mark out in red which area in Järfälla needs to be improved, with green where their favourite place in Järfälla is at, and with yellow where they want to live in Järfälla. The areas most appreciated are mostly in the nature reserves and some in the more dense areas. The area most people wanted to change, is Kallhäll. By the yellow dots, we can see that there is now an even spread regarding where
