174 Parklife Team point of view Flexible, yet distinctive, this development of parks, housing, commerce and parking will be based on rules. The large scale of old Haninge determines the new areas, while a smaller scale is used for their diffusion. This generates a delicate web, which is flexible and vibrant in terms of ownership, typology, scale, activity and social structures. The social and economic incentives are governed by restoring social qualities, while also creating a sustainable economic model. The new parking areas are interwoven with shops and dwellings, but are relocated from street level to make room for a new lively city street. This creates an environment of exciting encounters where there was previously ugly, unsafe and unwanted space. The different Layers of the city are made visible and integrated with the rest of life, PARKLIFE. Jury point of view The project walks a narrow line between conventionality and the invention of a new city. The main interesting points relate to the intensity and the mix of uses characteristic of urban life. This city offers a 24/7 environment where parking and sports, leisure and housing merge in a creative way. This creativity is a kind of heuristic toolbox, which seems to contain ever more suggestions for the future use of urban spaces.
