Introduction
Foreword During the autumn term of 2019, the students at Lund University, School of Architecture participated in the advanced course ‘Sustainable Urban Recycling’ (ASBN 02) and its complementary theory course ‘Urban Recycling - Theory and Methods’ (ASBN 06), focused on redevelopment of the former harbor area in Ystad.
The aim of the design course was to develop the students’ skills in designing strategic visions for sustainable built environments through the process of urban transformation. The theme was explored throughout the semester in seminars, guest lectures, and project tutorials with the goal that each student presents a site specific proposal for sustainable transformation of the Ystad Harbor in the city of Ystad, Sweden.
As part of the course and design process, the class was involved in a four day study trip to Amsterdam, Netherlands, where the students explored possibilities of adapting, transforming and developing urban areas in a sustainable way.
Throughout the studio-based course, the students were encouraged to engage in exploring various aspects of sustainability, identifying site problems and potentials, and suggesting opportunities for refining urban components. They were guided to find their own meaning in the terms ‘recycling’ and ‘sustainability’ when re-designing the harbor in Ystad. The design intention was to integrate a comprehensive strategy, design guidelines and tools for transforming the area into a sustainable urban structure that promotes attractiveness for the everyday life of both visitors and local residents.
The design process was separated into several parts - analysis, strategy and individual design - combing both the group and individual work of the students.
The design studio resulted in 45 unique projects in which students challenged conventional ideas and tools of sustainability, preparing and supporting the process of urban transformation in Ystad. The following pages are a summary of the course structure and

Introduction
Course Outline Sustainable Urban Recycling The studio Sustainable Urban Recycling marks the 1st semester of the master’s program. The aim is to challenge the students to start building on their previous skills and learn to design strategic visions for sustainable built environments with reference to current international trends. This is primarily achieved by carrying out an advanced design assignment, supported by theoretical and practical knowledge in the form of series of seminars and lectures. In parallel the students have to describe, analyze and evaluate urban structures, networks, contexts and development strategies from architectural, ecological, humanist and socio-economic perspectives.
The course emphasizes street oriented development, which provides access to shops, service and residential dwellings from typical streets, pathways or sidewalks. What makes strolling down a particular street enjoyable? Street oriented urban design focuses on mixeduse development and a pedestrian-friendly network with regards to the human scale and perception of transparency. Street designs in urban and suburban areas can hold high complexity. If properly arranged, they can add identity and visual interest, make public spaces more inviting and safe, and help create a sense of place.
During the semester the students’ attention focused on analyzing urban life, urban streets and networks within the site in order to be able to propose valid urban recycling strategies. The semester aspirations were to investigate, interpret and develop the character of the former Ystad harbor area from an undefined industrial site into an integrated social and transportation hub of the city. The intention was to boost up the Ystad municipality plan by reinventing the role of the harbor as an important and key driver for future development.
Four themes formed the toolbox of the design studio: Connect, Generate, Mix and Share used as guidelines during the process. The perceived vision was that the life in Ystad should
Sustainable Urban Recycling
include all the aspects of a sustainable city and more.

Design Site Ystad Harbor, Ystad, Sweden The design studio Sustainable Urban Recycling focused on a design site located in the city of Ystad. The water front of the city is dominated by a harbor area, which has been an important economical driver of the city. In recent years some parts of the area has been cleared, other harbor facilities will be moved in the future, and the city now has a possibility to connect its center to the water again. The task for the Autumn semester was to explore how and with what can the site be transformed to become a liveable and unified part of the city that responds to the local context and character.

Introduction
Course Structure The semester was divided into 3 phases: Analysis, Strategy and Individual Design. The working process was completed with the final presentations on December 10th and 11th 2019, where students individually presented their work to invited professionals. The final part concluded the semester and provided the students with a chance to improve and reflect upon their work. This structure allowed them to focus on specific components of the projects as well as to get feedback on a consistent basis, while working both in groups and individually.
The first weeks of the semester consisted of group work, where teams of students analyzed different segments of the Ystad’s cityscape. In the second phase students took the initial analysis and developed a sustainable strategy for how the city might be developed in the future. The third phase of the semester focused on individual work, where each student translated the larger scale visions into specific designs of the harbor area. In this last stage the students developed their designs further, illustrating how their proposals contribute to a healthier, sustainable and lively Ystad. Each of the three phases ended with student presentations to a jury that examined their progress and helped push their ideas forward. With the guest critics’ comments and the weekly tutorials, the individual proposals grew in depth and detail in an attempt to tackle the challenges posed by the site and the four themes of the course.
In addition, this year’s study trip took the students to Amsterdam, Netherlands. There the group gained insight into how the city has regenerated old industrial areas and how the layers of time have built on its character. KICK OFF

Introduction
Working Process Phase I Analysis The first assignment of the Design Project was an analytical exercise. For three weeks the students engaged in group work and critically investigated the study area in order to gain an understanding of its nature and occurring processes. The main focus was to explore how the site is connected to the rest of the city and the surrounding region. What are the layers shaping the character of the area? What is the relation between the edge of the urban waterfront and the public realm? What are the main issues and potentials for the site and how a plausible re-fabrication can contribute to the ongoing development of Ystad?
By looking at the city’s collection of solids and voids, by comparison of scales, and by exploring different vantage points, the class gained insight into the physical, social, ecological and economical aspects of the given area. They identified key spaces within the site, mapped major urban flows, meeting points, functional nodes, landscape features, public-private relations and historically charged urban elements. The importance of the site’s location in relation to the city centre, train line and port was a vital aspect, guiding the whole analysis process.
Through this extensive research potential sustainability strategies and questions could be raised for the Ystad harbor and the city itself. The outcome of this phase created the base for

the next students’ endeavor - the sustainable strategy.

Introduction
Working Process Phase II Sustainable Strategy The second phase of the Design Project focuses on sustainable vision and strategy. Also in group work, this was an important phase that sets the fundamental base for the future development and direction of the design proposals. It is during this chapter that the opportunities and potentials of the site are revealed, explored and tested. All the decisions students make here should set a foundation for their future visions and design processes.
The brief asked from the students to reflected on the previously carried out analysis and to develop a comprehensive and holistic vision for the future transformation of the Ystad harbor area and the city. What are the strategies that ensure the success of the students’ visions and how can they be implemented in a conscious way? How will these strategies influence the time frame while at the same time carefully capturing the character of the site and its context?
The key themes that we believe each of the students should strive to follow while developing their sustainable strategies are as follows:
1. Connect When developing the Ystad harbor, it is important to transform the existing infrastructure into an urban network that joins the districts of the city together. It is about finding ways to break down existing barriers and create new ways, new structures of mobility and new patterns of movement that will generate innovative ways to live, work and visit the area.
2. Generate What is needed in order to create places and spaces that attract people from the different parts of the city? What are the ways to reclaim the Ystad harbor by opening-up spaces and possibilities for generators - a building, an event, a temporary intervention, a new spatial condition, etc.? This will expand the cultural and recreational landscape and contribute to a more united city.

Find urban forms that support, diversify or enrich the programming in and around the Ystad harbor. “Mix� refers to the overall aim of creating urban areas with new urban experiences in Ystad. The perspective of re-thinking the Ystad harbor brings new possibilities for the introduction of a mix of activities, functions and uses - leading to a diversity of cultures, people, and lifestyles. Introducing new activities along the coastline will contribute to a transformation of the surrounding districts.

Phase III Strategic Plan Moving into individual work, the aim of the third phase of the Design Project is to tell a detailed and holistic story for re-thinking the site into an integrated part of Ystad. Attention is directed to the human scale, the multiple aspects of sustainability, and the site’s unique context. The goal is to create a new urban area with updated urban experience and a focus on both the public realm and the proposed quality of urban fabric.
In this stage the students mobilize all their strength and channel it into exploratory work (on paper and in model form) in order to develop and push forward the knowledge they have accumulated in the previous phases. Each of them builds up a narrative that unfolds itself through a complete set of compelling architectural drawings and images, and thus indulging the audience into the storytelling.
The students presented their ongoing work at mid-crit on 12th and 13th November in order to gain input and guidance from the jury as to where their project could be strengthened and

what components warrant further exploration into the final individual stage.

Introduction
Study Trip Amsterdam, The Netherlands As a part of the study plan the students took a study trip to Amsterdam and had the chance to get inspired from the different qualities of the city’s urban landscape and its specific way of dealing with sustainability, re-cycling and up-cycling.
During the study trip the group gained insight into the Dutch philosophy of working with urban fabric recyclables through visiting a number of relevant urban design projects and through having lectures from local urban design practitioners. The accumulated observations from the study trip became a platform for their discussions. As an on-site assignment they had to reflect on and analyze, evaluate and describe urban areas of interest for their future work.
The most important questions discussed during the study trip were:
How the layers of time have formed spatial qualities in the city? How places are given form and how they invite everyday life? How does mixing, adding on and isolating different urban elements and details create the diversity of Amsterdam today? How to adapt city to the future challenges of the climate change? How to propose new urban areas which would promote social and economic sustainability? How to accommodate the sustainable means of transportation in an existing urban environment? What is the “right” density in the city

and why does density matter?

The aim of the final Individual phase of the Design Project is to tell a holistic story and design a sensitive, detailed plan for development of the Ystad harbor.
The constraints and potentials that were identified in the previous stages of analysis and strategy are now to be turned into physical spaces, bound by real dimensions and site-specific performances. Thus, the students’ visions for Ystad’s urban transformation naturally came to be concrete proposals as a result of the extensive research base from which they could be pulled up.
The reader of this booklet is invited to enduldge into the following pages in order to witness a brief collection of the final projects. It is our hope that all of the students tireless efforts

The aim of my strategic plan is to strengthen the social quality of the spaces and transform the harbour area of Ystad into a more comfortable and friendly place for everyone. To achieve that, I wanted to create different spaces, which will be diverse, on various levels such as: activities, building structure, biodiversity and the residential areas. The focus of the project is the social aspects of the harbour, which I wanted to activate because as from my observations, Ystad’s harbour is really poor in that factors. Therefore, I wanted to create urban tissue which will cover the social needs and also will complement the three main general goals of a well designed, sustainable urban space, which are: social, economical and ecological factors.
I have designed a clear and distinct vision for the four different functions: esidential, working spaces, recreational, and the transport system. All of these different functions are blending together creating a socially sustainable environment.

The proposal aims to create places where everyone can feel welcome and focuses on social interaction. Public spaces play a key role in the plan and public activities are mixed with residential and office buildings to favour communication.
a wide range of opportunities. The transition zone is designed as a mixeduse buffer that will improve circulation to the area. This is regarded in the proposal as a first phase development, together with a central water square that attracts inhabitants to the sea.
To generate a sense of community, identity is fostered through focusing on water as a distinctive element and the reuse of existing buildings as landmarks. Spaces for learning are established throughout the neighbourhood: These can attract different age groups and make the place unique. The main generators in the project are designed to fulfil these requirements, as in the case of the silos being converted into a water educative centre.
The design also focuses on environmental sustainability by introducing tools to deal with microclimate and flooding risk. The approach comprehends the design of a green and blue network that allows for temporary flooding turning the threats into opportunities. The structure is meant to consolidate the masterplan and act as inclusive social spaces, creating an enjoyable environment for people to live or spend their time in.
To achieve inclusion in the area, connections are improved, both within the site and to the historical town, and are developed with different characteristics to provide users with

To connect the old part of Ystad with the new harbour area without physical and social barriers “Common floor” is used. It is about creating pleasant environment in the daily life, which enables happiness.
Sustainable Urban Recycling
- BETWEEN BUILDINGS The new design is a mix of public and private spaces. The space between building blocks enables varied interaction between people, both between neigh-boors and visitors. The asymmetrical layout create interesting experiences.
32
- VARIETY IN SURROUNDINGS There is a diversity of built form together with flexible and mix-functional spaces. With a quite dense area the economical sustainability is viable. Dwellings is combined with public buildings. Different social groups can use the same place for different activities. It is a built environment which encourage to interact with the surroundings.
- ENJOY WEATHER The harbour should be for all seasons, throughout all day, weeks and months. The ”common floor” encouraging outdoor activity and creates a pleasant micro-climate which allow activities to happen at different time. The new harbour´s greenery and blue structure connects the existing green and blue areas of Ystad. To have visible ecological solutions in the built environment and a part of the daily life help to create an understanding for the coming climate changes and how to solve them.

Linking Ystad: connect the harbour with the city Anna Konrádová, Czech Republic
PERSPECTIVE FROM THE SECOND AREA
“Finding and learning from the existing one and bring it to the new one. Connect and create a

natural continuation of the city.”
36
Linking Ystad means to connect the old city with the newly developing area in the harbour. It means connecting the people - young and old, tourists and locals, working and retired people, active and cozy and others. Linking Ystad does not mean just to connect the areas with streets, but also with the scale of blocks, scale of houses, typology of houses, typology of private and public spaces and finishing of surfaces. It means to learn from the existing and apply these findings in designing. The project consists of two parts, which are linked by greenery and streets. The first one is the dense area close to the silos, beach, and theater. In this part, one can find a lot of shops, offices, sport, and cultural possibilities, but also apartment and family houses, nursing houses, hotels, public baths and many public spaces consisting of squares, courtyards, parks, and a beach.
The second area has a different character compared to the first one. It mostly concentrates on housing. This means that we can find here different typologies of apartment and family houses. Apartment houses with flats with gardens on the ground floor, Small apartment houses with shops and cafés on the ground floors, family houses with private gardens and some more. The two areas are connected by the main road which changes the character while running through the harbour. At first, it is a busy city street, then it changes to a smaller and calmer road running through the park close to the train station and becomes a wide street which surrounds the second part and runs away. From this big street, we can get to smaller streets and paths. The whole area has some areas which are accessible by cars and some areas accessible just for pedestrians and cyclists.

38
Project revisits previously analyzed mapping, as well as vision and strategy, which thereafter combined becomes a narrowed down full sustainability circle consisting of living more (social), climate resilience (ecological), using less assets (economical). The project looks at layering multiprogramms for different age groups, microclimate, and energy consumption possibilities. With this, the project aims to create Ystad harbour a place where you can live more in a context where you find time and space for all aspects of your life in all seasons. With the narrative in mind, the project vision is achieved by a six-step strategy. The steps are the following: 1) Open existing facades to activate spaces and invite people in 2) Develop no-mans-land to lift the barrier physically and mentally 3) Re-use/develop existing generators and multi-programs
4) Work with microclimate and create options for people 5) Invite green and blue structures to lift the quality of life and create a climate resilience 6) Develop sustainable energy systems to use less The driving force behind the design proposal is diversity in connection to activity programs, age groups involved and microclimate. The concept of connecting diverse activities to microclimate options encourages people to live more in all seasons. It proposes options for people with various preferences. The proposal encourages people to linger longer or even stay, rather than simply pass through the city. It invites, offers and provides. Everyone and at all times of the year.

Ystad Harbour: A Productive Unit Anusha Muralidhar, India
THE PROJECT MAINLY FOCUSES ON CREATING COMMUNITIES WITH SHARED SPACES THAT COME OUT OF SHARED PRACTICES
“The project aims on providing a robust public realm that merges indoor and outdoor agricultural experiences using community gardens. It presents a new idea for urban life by celebrating food production as one of the important
Sustainable Urban Recycling
functions of the harbour”
40
The harbour of Ystad has enormous potential as a productive unit. The vision of the project is to employ this potential in a threefold function – for food production, energy generation and revenue generation. At present, agriculture in Ystad is limited to its borders. The project draws from the agricultural history of Ystad and aims to introduce small scale agriculture and manage resources, while also ensuring greater agricultural biodiversity. This approach will allow for production of food without having to dedicate land specifically for agriculture within the city. The project focuses on the integration of backyard farming systems in conjunction with aquaculture. The main issues of microclimate are flooding and wind velocities. The project employs the following design strategies to tackle these issues: 1. A protected boardwalk that allows for interaction with the water, combine with an artificial dune, that acts as a recreational feature.
2. Directed water channels withing each block, leading to a collection pond which will serve the purpose of irrigation. 3. Coastal parks that filter stormwater before it reaches the sea, and also act as floodable landscapes in case of sea level rise. 4. Urban forests that act as filters for noise and wind Sustainable strategies for energy production are: 1. The silos as sustainable towers, with an active ground floor and structural turbines to generate wind energy. The silos will also house rooftop greenhouses. 2. The use of vertical wind turbines, scaled down for domestic use along the coastline. Strategies for revenue generation are: 1. Keeping the clubhouse, the marina, the beach and surrounding functions. 2. Buildings along the coastline will act as recreational buildings for revenue production.

42
The main vision of the new harbour district is to connect people. Old and young. New people in Ystad and people who lived in Ystad for many years. Today, there are too many young people who move from Ystad. We need to patch together the old part of the existing Ystad and the new harbour district with minimal barriers, both mentally and physically. We need to improve the pedestrian paths along the harbour so people are able to walk or take the bike through the area. This will improve the connection to the existing city even more, since it will attract even more people.
There will be a design of mix-use in the typology and in-between spaces. Interactive spaces outside in the district that is made for everyone will make more people be in the harbour. There are open spaces for the community, like playgrounds where people can meet. Patch together the places to stay, play, workout, talk, walk or bike. The new harbour connects the existing greenery through the district. Patch together the missing greenery with different kind. The multiple atmospheres of greenery in different areas that connects to a strip of greenery that goes through the new district. There are different levels of the parks that can contain stormwater if needed.

harbour...”
44
“Growing Green” envisions the redevelopment of Ystad Harbour intimately linked with nature in order to stimulate ecological transformation and the renewal of an environment that has degenerated with decades of industrial activity. The first phase of analysis revealed that Ystads’ identity is linked by the agricultural land that envelops it, and the harbour front which it has become disconnected from. The harbour site presents the opportunity both to link the people of Ystad back to their seaside routes, and to connect agriculture within the urban fabric in order to foster community, improve well-being and encourage local consumption. With roots in its immediate terrain this has the potential to create a dynamic site that links the urban economic and ecological systems to ensure the proposals longevity. This design seeks to create a network of green (and blue) systems that act as generators across the site for social inter-
action, commerce, learning and ecologically sustainable practices. By investing in these green nodes as the first phase of development it is possible to ignite life back into the harbour and cultivate biodiversity before residential building begins. The proposed landscapes invite nature in all capacities, responding to the microclimate of the site whilst improving the quality of the environment on land and the ocean. The main green structures proposed facilitate multiple uses and are at the junction of main pedestrian connections in order to ensure people connect with each other and nature. This green first approach acts as an agent to draw people into the area and is envisioned to be a participatory process where the local citizens of Ystad can get involved in the “greening” of this space, giving them a sense of ownership of a place they have previously been unable to access.

“ a community where the inhabitants can shape their own life, and where it’s easy to live in a

46
In the Ystad of today, young adults leave town for education or to seek employment opportunities elsewhere. The medieval city centre is disconnected from the Baltic sea and the vast paved areas of the harbour will soon be in disuse when the ferries move to new quays. At the same time, global phenomena such as climate change and greater awareness of sustainable development provides a strong foundation for a new kind of brownfield development. The Workshop Village seeks to provide employment opportunities and education for a new generation of young adults. A possibility to create their own business where local produce and raw materials are refined to quality products, or shops where things are repaired or upcycled, all contributing to a strong local and circular community. First, the connections between the historic city and the harbour will be strengthened. Emerging from the railway station, public buildings and commercial
activities will spark the development. The silos will be turned into a workshop centre providing both learning and teaching opportunities for the new professionals of Ystad. The neighbourhood provides a range of housing typologies to attract people with different demands. At first, existing warehouses provide cheap premises for start-ups. Young professionals can build their own townhouse with a workshop in the ground floor, or move into an apartment with communal spaces or larger workshops on the ground floor. All housing have access to private gardens. For those not living in the area, there are new public activities to enjoy, for example a library, a winter garden and an open-air bath/sauna. With ample green space, the neighbourhood will provide a pleasant microclimate for everyone. The Workshop Village is a community where the inhabitants can shape their own life, and where it’s easy to live in a sustainable way.

Hamnstad: Seamless City Axel Sonesson, Sweden
“The harbor and city integrated, preserved and reinvented.”
The harbor and city in Ystad are separated by rail and road. It is vital to address this situation in order to create a successful urban fabric. That is this project’s main objective. Given Ystad’s geographical position and its connections to the rest of Europe, there should be great opportunities to integrate the city with the rest of the world.
Sustainable Urban Recycling
Connecting city and harbor
48
To achieve a higher permeability, 3 axis that lead down to the harbor are improved. In the most central, Hamngatan, pedestrian traffic is separated from vehicle traffic, through a lowered street, passing under the rail. For a new urban area on this scale, a well designed gateway is necessary.
Urban characteristics For the urban life in this new area a rather high density level is proposed, with housing that offer variety but also a strong identity connected to Ystad. The two piers of the old harbor have slightly different characteristics. While the eastern pier offers a more open, organic and green typology, the western pier have a more urban feel, with higher levels and smaller streets. Flooding + Integration = Architainers? Since sea levels are rising, some areas of the harbor have to deal with occasional flooding in the future. Going well together with the idea of connecting Ystad to the rest of the world, through movable homes, so called “architainers”, a typology have been explored where these are standing separated from the ground on pillars.

The development harbor of Ystad aims to strengthen the sustainable healthy, social and attractive city life in close relation to the nature specially the sea and bring the city back to sea, as for some years railroad disconnected these two nature components (city and sea). To achieve this goal, the proposal in regarding to analysis of the city, its history, structure, character, potentials and challenges is introduced; with following these strategies: Living Green: - Create green spaces for healthy living and relaxation - Local farming - Integrate nature and education Build the community: - Build sustainable neighborhoods - Create employment opportunities - Build connection with nature - Provide space for arts and sports
Sustainably manage energy and water: - Use renewable, clean energy resource: wind, sunlight and water - Reduce flood risk - Harvest rain water This design gathers squares, public spaces (for social interactions), parks (for enjoyment and recreation), shops and dwellings (for everyday life).

“Reclaiming and reappropriating space in Ystad’s harbour for a diverse

and accessible new district.”
52
Ystad is a city in a vulnerable and transitory state. The city draws visitors in large numbers, but the natural surroundings and historic character that give the region its charm are not nimble to adapt to new demographics and trends. As a result, many young residents are leaving the municipality to seek opportunities elsewhere, while the retirement class grows. The city must challenge itself to remain relevant to today’s and tomorrow’s populations and create a new district that makes room for individual expression and appropriation alongside the city’s strongly established identity. Nature and history are central to Ystad’s identity today, and both must be considered in developing a sustainable strategy for the design site — a strategy whereby both anthropocentric and ecocentric processes reclaim the site from its industrial past. Through a participatory process, Ystad’s residents can bring new purpose and meaning to
the site’s existing uses and qualities, while natural surroundings begin to erode at the man-made site and take a stronger foothold in the city. The new harbour district presents an opportunity to author a new history in Ystad. The new, accessible district will borrow from its surroundings to form an economically and socially diverse complement to the historic city centre, with new and renewed functions, institutions, and environments. Existing artifacts are modified and redefined, erased histories are revealed, and a new stage is set for spontaneous activities and interaction. The future history of Ystad will be one where collective memory is defined by individual memory, being written and rewritten by everyone, every day.

Connected Ystad. Back to the Future. Claudia Iovita, Moldova
CITY PARK. WINTER SEASON
“Back to the Future is about creating new with the qualities of old and seeing nature as the
Sustainable Urban Recycling
key element of the design.�
54
For this project, the design process involves working with three strategies.The first strategy is overlapping the four qualities which defines the character of Ystad. The second is to tie the mental places of the old city with the newly created ones, keeping their feeling and connecting to each other. The third strategy is connecting the new area itself with the Social, Blue and Green Layers. A city works as a human body. The old and new has to work together and be in harmony for the future development and growth. The focus is on the mental connections of the old and new, being very important that people from the old part of the city will feel the new design as a place they belong to. The driving force of the project is the Social and the Green and Blue structures that are working as water management and sea level rise
solution, educational platform and eco-friendly urban development. Back to the Future is about creating the new with the qualities of old. In order to make sure this future is possible, nature’s importance has to be reconsidered and seen as the first and the most important element of the design.

“Get close to the ocean and enjoy the diverse activities in Ystad!”
In Ystad, the strategy is to increase the natural landscapes and regenerate the mixed-used blocks while enhancing the accessibility of the site. Some same areas provide flexible functions in different times. They act as a configuration to attract people to use different parts.
Sustainable Urban Recycling
In terms of building, on the basis of retaining some original buildings, light-weight buildings that are easily disassembled and houses above the water surface are added. The area that retains some of the city’s characteristics, such as the west silo, can become an attractive landmark.
56
With regard to sustainable development, this strategy can make site more walkability and bicycle friendly. Through the coastal wooden paths and bicycle lanes that run through the east and west, people can safely and easily view different landscapes along the coastline.
Additionally, the coast is designed with a variety of hydrophilic landscapes that take nature into the waterfront while preserving the city’s character. People can get close to nature and water in different seasons. The design of building takes into account the sealevel rise. People can reach floating houses through wooden paths and wetland parks. If the wooden road is submerged, they can be reached by boats. Most mixed-used buildings offer people multiple functions.

“Ystad should resurrect its history in order to design modern, contemporary and resilient
Sustainable Urban Recycling
spaces.”
58
Ystad has a history like other towns around the southern Baltic sea; the Hanseatic league influenced the city. Before that, the fishing had been the main source of income and food. After a few centuries serving as a “backup town”, hosting Swedish kings and handling smuggled goods during Napoleon Bonaparte’s Baltic Sea Blockade, Ystad planned Sandskogen (the sand forest) to stop erosion, turning it into a bath resort . Now the harbour is one of the few areas of Ystad that are connected to the sea. How will the future look like? What connects us to water? Noise and strong winds; barriers and rising sea levels, an aging demography and a dying city centre. These problems concern the entire harbour and to some extent the entire Ystad. They are just too important to ignore. My idea is that Ystad should resurrect its history in order to design modern,
contemporary and resilient spaces. Locality, tourism, climate awareness and water related activities are qualities rooted in the history, which could be spatially translated into vistas, market, research centre for climate change, hotels and cafés as well as harbour baths and ice skating. None should be neglected, but focus lies on the younger half of the population, giving schools and outdoor activities a major role. The proposal speaks to all the values of Ystad, where a rediscovery of its past potentials is focused on. Many different public and private spaces complement each other, but can also be referred to the existing environment in Ystad. A design that represent a new chapter in ystad, but from the same book. A design that is connected and connects, always with the sea close at hand.

Even though the harbour, in its current state might appear to be quite empty of life it actually inhabits many programs, generally attracted by the low rent of these facilities but still so strong or site specific in their generating capacity that they work in this otherwise rather un-functional space. What could then happen if these places and what they generate could be given more prosperous circumstances within the context of a new, connected and living part of Ystad?
existing structures is central. I also attempt to use tools such as typologymix and phasing with plot sizes, level of detail planning and the communal housing company in mind.
This question and the physical and programmatical framework that it set for me; I have tried to use as the agent when working towards my vision through my strategic goals, which are to make the harbour a place that is:
- Flexible and evolving Resilience towards climate change and especially flooding and sea-level rise requires flexibility of spaces and buildings, this overlaps with having space and strength in the plan for future unplanned scenarios and ways of life.
- Available and including: I am addressing the perceiving of an inhabitable context through the lens of economical availability. Here, the keeping of existing functions in
- Triggering and engaging I am working at the street level, looking at how the site gets connected through the buildings, the streets and the in-between by investigating how the spaces are programmed and communicated.

Regreeneration Erica Välimaa, Sweden
A GLIMPSE OF THE LIFE AT THE HARBOUR
“Ystad harbour is a place that enables and encourages its inhabitants and users to live sustainable lifestyles�
Regenerating the harbour is a challenge when it comes to the environmental and demographic challenges that the city is facing. But the regeneration of the site is also a big opportunity in being able to create a livable and resilient place by making it green; not just in the amount of greenery but also by implementing structures that make it easy to live sustainable.
Sustainable Urban Recycling
Starting for the context, three strategies have been formulated: connect and integrate, efficient solutions and introduce the public realm.
62
To bridge the disconnection it is important to make the site an integrated part of Ystad and to connect the young demographics into the local dynamic by adding work opportunities, cultural life and recreational activities. By aiming for efficient solutions while regenerating the site will reach its full potential. Designing a walk- and
bikeable site will make it easier for the people of Ystad to make sustainable transportation choices. Benefitting from the local environment by using wind and sun energy is a step towards self-sufficiency. Introducing the public realm on a site where large parts previously have been closed off for the public will benefit the entire city. The goal is that the different public spaces at the harbour will enable everyone to learn, play, relax and socialize. Ystad harbour is a place that enables and encourages its inhabitants and users to live sustainable lifestyles in an environment that can evolve and adapt.

“The first perception I had once reached the Ystad’s harbour was the complete absence of connection. Firstly, with the historical town centre due to the huge and empty landscape. Then, whit the water that you
Sustainable Urban Recycling
can see but you can’t achieve.”
64
At the begin I tried to have a similar kind of design, materials, connection, and density of the old town. The first action was to draw a cycle and pedestrian path that follows the harbour edge to give back the sea relationship to the citizens. Then I worked on vertical connection to overcome the barrier generated by the busy street and the train track. The first is the cultural centre, that link the town theatre and the cultural park around the sugar silos and the old station building using the same conceptual elevated paving to moderate the vehicles speed. The main town axe will link the town square with the market square thanks to a double row of trees that start from the existing one. Then the existing bridge will be improved in a green casing to connect the gymnasium street with the core of the new east area. The second highlight is the lack of green and permeable surface, so, to connect the green cemetery park at west and the forest at
east introduces green spaces. Working on the water perception, I tried to make that more important not only near the sea but in the entire area. So, a stream who collect the rainwater and the grey water from the town will run near the track to prevent the crossing. A swimming area will reuse the cruise terminal once dismissed, a water interactive park will be near the station and a mirror fountain will reflect the station façade to emphasize the role of the station as a generator. To maintain the heritage of the commercial harbour will maintain all the silos and it will be reused containers in public spaces and as floating houses modules. The connection concept is developed also in terms of human being. Thanks to having different types of residential, commercial and social areas I planned to integrate retired people whit kids, families whit students, tourists whit citizens.

The plan proposal consists of a threesteps strategy, where the first phase sets a strong foundation for the next two. It is an intervention of restoration and densification at the industrial area of the harbour in order to create a worldclass research centre for aquafarming. The main goal is to have a low-cost investment. By doing this, the research centre and a housing typology are designed for young people and families, which will attract university students and bring a new, missing layer to Ystad’s society. The second stage of the project consists of developing the areas and connections between the research centre, the old town and the new harbour by public transportation. The final one will be the development of the East of the harbour area with spaces for allotments and activities for the community.
Flooding is solved by different kinds of green and blue structures that will work as a green sponge that stocks or reuses water, while being useful for the social community working as parks, allotments or gardens. This green plan is created in the first phase so the future citizens of the East area will be welcomed by a complex, fullgrown landscape which can be used for different activities.

There is an increasing health issue in Sweden and other countries. Mental illness is increasing and stress-related disorders are at the top of the list and are predicted to increase in the future. When densifying and expanding cities, this should be planned for to help prevent mental illness. Studies show that spending time and being close to nature has a positive impact on stress. The proposal is designed with this in mind as well as any future city’s need to be economical-, environmentally-, and socially sustainable. By incorporating large green qualitative spaces and a human scale design, this proposal aims to provide a healthy planned neighborhood for all the people in Ystad. The new harbor area is designed to give people the possibility to de-stress and be closer to nature as well as offer inclusive public spaces where people wants to stay and explore.
As the site is central and next to the water, it is important to make the harbor belong to everyone and make the waterfront public. One strategy is to incorporate a large-scale park at the main entrance to the area. The central location is essential as it will benefit people all over the site and be an easily accessible natural environment that can improve people’s health. The area will be mostly car-free to support walking. The blocks, courtyards and public spaces are designed so that they strengthen outdoor activity and social interaction. The scale is adapted to Ystad’s old town which is a great example of a nice, walkable city. The masterplan aims to spark curiosity and offer spaces that invite people to linger, whether one lives there or one is visiting.

“ ...where the inhabitants of Ystad feel a sense of

belonging”
70
The vision for the new harbour aims at creating a district and a city where the inhabitants of Ystad feel a sense of belonging, that the harbour is a part of the city as a whole. This means both the people living in Ystad today and the city’s future inhabitants. A key feature in the proposal is to make the harbour AVAILABLE for everyone. In order to make the people already living in Ystad connect with the new neighbourhood and the new inhabitants, a variety of solutions is proposed. By planning for fishing huts, allotments and small store space available for renting in the new district, people living in the rest of Ystad will be able to invest both time and money in a concrete space within the harbour, thus creating a stronger bond. Many of the existing buildings with their uses are also kept as they are, bridging the barrier both in time and space. This will hopefully lead to more ENGAGED inhabitants.
The project also aims to create environments where people can take part in activities in the city without having to argue for their right to do so. This is done by creating high quality public spaces around the neighbourhood. These spaces consist of both hard surfaces, parks and green spaces, in order to create good opportunities for ecosystems to thrive. These green spaces will also help with taking care of the flooding the city will face in the future because of climate change, resulting in a PROTECTED Ystad. Combined, this will create THE HARBOUR OF THE PEOPLE. The goal is for the harbour to feel like a natural part of Ystad, where the inhabitants see the harbour as a vital part of the identity of the city and where Ystad’s conncetion to the water is restored and will come to a benefit for everyone.

VISION OF COMMUNITY CORE
“The qualities a private and enclosed courtyard can offer should be seen as an important compliment to the qualities of
Sustainable Urban Recycling
public spaces in a city”
72
The water’s edge is given back to the people of Ystad through making the entire edge of the water public and placing the main public spaces in the most attractive spaces along it. The people are connected to the water physically through an extension of existing streets, and through connecting existing public spaces of Ystad to new key places in the harbor. The people are also connected to the water mentally through being part of the development. Possibilities for local initiatives within existing structures can be a way of bringing the site to life, create identity and engage the people that lives in Ystad today before the development starts. By first establishing a place within existing structures, conditions are created for later creating a square, a park or an important public building. This participatory process can help create a sense of community within the area.
In this very wind exposed location, a closed block structure is favorable when it comes to microclimate, but it has other qualities too. The framing creates protected oases within each block that can encourage local community activities to take place. Different spaces in the city, with different degrees of privacy and publicity can be considered as different types of territories. Unclear boundaries between these territories can lead to uncertainty of how a space should be used and lead to it not being used. The spatial framing of spaces is therefore important, and well-designed courtyards can offer communities on a neighborhood scale. This serves as an important complement to what the area’s public spaces along the water’s edge offers.

The city of Ystad has long been a segregated city in terms of innercity parts and their interaction with each other. The old is segregated from the new, the big scale is segregated from the human scale and the water is segregated from the city. But still, somewhere in there lies an enormous potential to bring all of these qualities together and create new values within new life can occur. The development of the harbor city will take place and develop thanks to the people that live and spend their time in the area. The harbor city: the coproductive landscape will be an everevolving process thanks to the belief that the inhabitants are co-producers of the space. Co-production basically means making something together. That means that the inhabitants not only are users of the space, but thanks to them new expressions can take place over time. It also means that people with different views and ideas are coming
together and interact with each other in order to make things better for everyone. Ystad harbour: the co-productive landscape is for everyone. It is designed in order to favor the production of the space and how people can interact with and effect their own environment. This will hopefully create a sustainable area that will last and flourish over time.

Ystad’s Harbour area today is a grey area that lacks human scale because of its industrial function and appearance. The projects main approach to develop the district is to create a network of places and connections which will merge the city together. The vision for the new Harbour District is a mixed use area that offers activities for all of Ystad’s inhabitants. The main strategies that have shaped the project are formulated as Hierarchy of Streets & Places and Integrated Greenery & Water. Not all streets or places can be the same. In a city some zones are more attractive than others. Different streets have different functions and serve different events. This is a positive thing because it creates a dynamic which stimulates us as people. If streets and buildings are too monotone, we get bored and unhappy, we need variation to thrive. In variation more opportunities are formed. On a pedestrian street, for example, commercial or public activities can and
are appreciated more if they flow out onto the street. On a street where cars are allowed businesses that require a lot of transported goods might find it more suitable to rent a place. Different ways of life require different contexts. To create a city for a everyday life with quality, many different needs has to be met. Integrated greenery and water management designs will help with creating a more self-reliant district. Accessibility to vegetation and nature also makes people healthier and happier which makes them give more back to the community and the economy. The project focuses on creating good foundations for life to occur. A good sense of community, opportunities in everyday life and resilience towards mother nature are the main sustainability issues that have been addressed in this project.

Society today has been revolutionized by the way we access and share information. This has unintentionally led people to feel socially disconnected. This isn’t a problem specific to Ystad but in contemporary society. The future city should encourage its inhabitants to have positive interactions with both society and nature to counteract this phenomenon. My vision for developing Ystad Harbour focuses on creating new destinations, and sustainable environments to live, work and play that complement the historic city and the surrounding nature. These new public spaces seek to encourage social interaction through creating inclusive places for all generations. Through social interaction, inhabitants will feel more in harmony with their city and nature resulting in enhanced sense of connection to place and community.
This vision will be achieved through the implementation of a strategy which embraces Ystads historical roots while balancing the economic, social and ecological needs of the city. This balance is achieved through working with creating connections, resilience and diversity throughout the design of the harbor, both in physical and abstract ways. We want to see new job opportunities in Ystad to support the economy, a variation in housing typology to attract different people, multi-functional gathering places and diverse public spaces that works throughout the year. Different sustainable solutions such as green roofs, energy efficient systems and vegetation to help with storm-water control are also some of our approaches. With these strategies we aim to create a city of the future.

Harvest Harbor meets the problems and challenges with solutions that values the challenges and are used as opportunities for future development. 8 strategies have been developed focused on the possibility to support the agricultural land with its big scale farming with a small scale farming in the harbor. This will contribute to a productive community with local food production and the agricultural land will be connected to Ystad. To create a productive community the strategies are education about farming for everyone and that everyone has the possibility cultivate. This leads to a circular economy where it is possible to learn – harv – eat and sell the excess crops. To be able to water the seeds and crops but at the same time take care of the rainwater the rainwater will be reused for the crops.
The concept Learn, grow, live will be applied in every scale; the residents in the harbor has access to its own or shared green house on the roof (for maximal sunligh), free lessons at the plant school and able to sell at the market. The public, regional and global scale has the possibility to take lessons at the plant school, walk and learn about farming and Ystads history for free, eat and sell at the market, rent a cultivate spot at the urban farming and contribute to events and stay at the vertical garden hotel (all those parts is available for the harbor residents as well). Those elements are placed as key places in the harbor which extends from east to west connecting the pedestrian walk from Sandskogen to the beach in Ystad city.

Ystad is the seaside city without water. The city as it stands today is blocked off to the shore by the trainline, and even when arriving there, the waterfront consists of large industrial scale buildings that do not only block the view but are fenced off to the public. In order to connect the new part of Ystad to the existing city two things are of the utmost importance. First, there needs to be better connections between the city and the water. In order to not segregate the city this connection needs to be both physical, i.e., it should be easy to cross, and visual. Secondly, there needs to be reasons for the citizens of Ystad to visit the new harbor, and an ability to make it their own. To promote social inclusiveness there are also two main attractions at the end of the piers: a wetland park and an elevated park, which have unique characteristics. A trail is also expanded towards the beach east of the city. This
is meant to make the new part of Ystad well traveled and feel less like a suburb. Finally, pocket spaces are left all over the new city to give every neighborhood a kind of small-scale landmark, and make them feel unique. This also gives the inhabitants the ability to make the city their own, as it is up to them to develop them. These spaces also work as storm-water drains. It is my hope that Connect Ystad makes the harbor once again an integrated part of the Ystad life.

The vision of Ystads new harbour area is to create an attractive, vibrant and green neighbourhood with the social aspects in focus. It’s not only going to be a place to live in, the new harbour will be a liveable place where people can flourish, meet and grow. The heart of the new harbour will be the square. The square is the first place you will experience on your walk from the city centre, to the new harbour. It will be a place where the people of Ystad can gather and enjoy their beautiful city. It is also of big importance that the Harbour provides lot of public activities for a big variety of people to increase the social sustainability. The area will provide homes for different people in different stages of life if life changes that won’t force you to move away to another area. The stores of the houses will be up to 5 flours and the vision is to create a diversity among the houses in terms of scale and character. The Quay around the area is of public importance and will work as a recreation site.
The area will prioritize pedestrians and people on bicycle. The roads for cars in the area will share space with the people that walk and bicycle. Strategies: Accessibility: The area should be an easy choice in terms of where people want to live and spend their spear time. Social meeting points: Its of big importance to create meeting points that will encourage the social sustainability. Identity: The area should have a clear identity to connect with the citizens of Ystad. Flexibility: The area should be adaptable to future changes of the environment. Sustainability: It should be easy to live sustainable in the harbour.

The water is a treasure landscape resource in Ystad while it can be used as an attractive element. My vision is to build a community that makes people close to the water- at the waterfront and in the street. Different types of water features with a variety of activities are proposed in the street. Shallow pond and dry fountain are offered for people to interact with water closely. Bio-swales are commonly applied in the street as a temporary water feature. At waterfront, patio, pavilion and waterfront stairs are set for appreciating the sea view while floodable can show another views during flooding. The fitting room and board in water are designed for people to swim or have fun with water. Besides, walkways, bike lanes and car ways are proposed to ensure the accessibility to water. Also, more greenery are proposed in the courtyard, open green space and sheltered green
space while recreational urban farming is provided to meet the human needs of close to nature. Last, silos are preserved to honor the history and reuse for history museum. Also, all the buildings are planned to mix-use to make the site active all day and easy for people to live.

Ystad, is a city that is situated in the south of Sweden, surrounded by rich agriculture lands and the sea. The aim is to re-design Ystad harbor, allowing it to help in developing the city and enhancing the quality of life. Ystad has one of the most essential elements of life, the water. However, there is a segregation of the blue structure in Ystad. People cant feel the presence of water and do not feel connected to the water. The sea could be seen at the harbor, but lacks the feeling of life; the harbor needs some developments to make the experience pleasant and allow the people to feel more connected to the water. Water improves the quality of life. It generates power, irrigate crops, keeps yards green, makes boundaries, allows water transportation, provides different types of entertainment and sports, and an essential element in people’s life and health.
Treating water as a friend and inviting it into the city will enrich and enhance Ystad’s harbor. It enhances the quality of life by giving people different ways to be connected to water and feel surrounded by different blue structures which is known psychologically to be very important for people’s health, have a positive impact on people’s wellbeing, as it eases stress and illuminates sense of peace. By 2100, it is predicted that Ystad will face the threat of floods. Taking that into consideration and inviting the water to flow into some areas of the harbor allows tackling this issue, as it not only making Ystad persistent but prosperous.

The vision that drives this proposal is to create a livable sustainable harbor and address arising and future challenges by building resilience. It is implemented on the site by combining site specific strategies and resilience strategies.
The third strategy promotes adaptability and flexibility. The goal is to optimize space capacity and encourage mixeduse buildings, shared spaces, and improve adaptability throughout different seasons, climates, functions.
The first strategy aims at building resilience by setting up a framework that emphasizes the preservation of the natural environment, ecological restoration, and community cohesion. It proposes buffering space capacity to accommodate future disruptions or strategic decisions, and enable the site to evolve.
These strategies outline the rationale behind the masterplan, focusing on designing a mixed-use development that offers different typologies, various public spaces and integrates blue and green systems in a systematic way within the space.
The second strategy focuses on improving the connection of the harbor with the city by strengthening the North-South connections, integrating some qualities of the city of Ystad within the site and promoting permeability and a better access to the sea.

“Allowing the city to evolve slowly, will make it more resilient for what the future

holds.�
92
The idea for the site is to start the process of creating a new harbour district in Ystad that over time will adapt to the present city, to the urban fabric, the buildings and the life. The new district is a new layer of the city, it will in many ways be different from the present, yet with many similarities with the existing Ystad. The new layers will be adaptable to both threats and possibilities of the future. With a slow process, in different phases, the current people of Ystad will be the first to access the site. Letting the people come close to the area and start using it as a part of their city, is a way to slowly adapting the people to the site and adapting the site to the peoples wishes and needs. Allowing the city to evolve slowly, will make it more resilient for what the future holds. The new district will be built in different phases, so the city slowly can adapt to it layer by layer. It is a way to mimic how
Ystad has evolved over time. The phases can change under the process depending on what works, what the people of Ystad want, and what the future brings. The early phases, are stricter though. The first two phases will secure the city from sea level rise, public access to the waterfront, green connections through the city and the connection between the present city and the new layers that will evolve. A new production for the city is introduced, a facility for growing Kelp. Which in time evolves into a driver for the city, with a reaserch centre of Kelp, university of Kelp and the museum of kelp.

94
The main challenges that this project addresses are: lack of connectivity between the historical centre and the site, the absence of diversity in people and the lack of commercial and leisure activities. In addition, the identity of Ystad should be preserved and modernized. This is done by extending the scale and urban fabric with bridges and pedestrian crossing. This results in the possibility to link the historical town with the project area. Furthermore, the project creates generators that make Ystad attractive for a wider demographic that will fill the shortage of young people in the town. There is an opportunity to involve the local community completing the gap of the green structure, connecting the water with the city and make a more vibrant, attractive and innovative city. This is done by involving the learning facilities in developing innovative programs for green areas with focus in urban farming as well as designing the
areas including, i.e. water and social activities It will make the local economy grow and will bring better quality of life. The intervention in the harbour area includes a large housing area with mixed uses where commercial and offices can come together. Also, there are private houses that keep part of the existing identity. This results in an urban fabric similar to the existing one but adding a possibility for more social interaction. The project focus on the water involving it in many aspects, such as a fun family activity and as resource and climate management. The project considers sun and wind exposure resulting in the specifically designed shape of the buildings for its sustainability and efficiency aspect. Furthermore, the future flooding issues that Ystad is going to endure are examined during the design considering wetland, squares and courtyards as a possible water collectors.

Integrated, productive, performative Pontus Wirf, Sweden
“The oppurtunity is really to create a new area where all people of Ystad can engage

98
The development of Ystad Harbour stands before major challenges. Only if the design is wisely curated, the development could utilize the opportunities for the site. Sea level rise, a changing climate and ageing demography are all urgent issues that needs to be addressed. The opportunity is really to create a new district in close proximity to downtown Ystad where all people of Ystad can engage with the sea. Therefore, three important keywords have been guiding the design process when working with Ystad: integrated, productive and performative. Integrated as in spatially integrated with the pre-existing fabric of Ystad, integrating green and blue structures with mixed land-use and a variation of functions, and socially integrated in terms of things to do and life to happen. The integrated green and blue structures helps to tackle temporal flooding.
Productive as in giving something back to the local community, e. g. creating the possibility for urban farming for both individual and collective initiatives, using the wind and solar access for energy production, but also productive in terms of knowledge as in planning for schools and education. The aim is of course to benefit local economy and to create jobs that will last. Performative as in the design giving the opportunity of things to do in the area. If the built form allows for different activities to take place it will benefit social encounters and in long term contributes to a greater sense of community spirit. This also addresses creating microclimate for different activities to tackle a changing climate.

I want an Ystad that people know and remember, not a place that is totally strange and unfamiliar, but a place that functions in a more successful way while maintaining the structure, identity and integrity of the city. The aim is to preserve the biggest and most important element and identity of the harbour, the sea, by strengthening the element and making it more available and effective, the people of Ystad will get back the ownership of this strong blue connection. I am taking a sustainable and conscious approach, preserving most of the harbour while making it more reachable but also creating a diverse community and opportunities for Ystad. I want to create a flexible urban plan that can preserve parts of Ystad and combine it with the city’s future needs but also bring back history (fishing, marina life) and use it to create a timeless part of the city.
The harbour will be a place that offers employments benefits for the community, better transport access and connections, specially to the old city. A place with enhanced leisure access to the sea but also more greenery and housing opportunities. The harbour of Ystad will become a contrasting urban piece of the city, where business people, families, the creative community and residents can all benefit from each other.

Ystad - The Agricultural Hub Sara Boraschi, Italy
THE AGRICULTURAL SHOWCASE
“My project wants to create a connection with the context and the identity of Ystad but in particular it creates activities for
Sustainable Urban Recycling
people�
102
The strategy of creating a connection between the city of Ystad and its context comes from the analysis made before and from the fact that Ystad is surrounded by agricultural lands. In my proposal. I want to create a similar landscape also in the new harbor. The agricultural theme is analyzed in different scales from the fields around the city to the green elements that characterize the new buildings. In the southern part of the intervention there is a showcase of Swedish products where the inhabitants can learn and understand the differences between the agricultural production. The maintenance of this area is managed by the municipality and the purpose is to attract tourists and teach them and the inhabitants how to lead a healthy life. Other two areas are organized as open markets where farmers, coming from around Ystad, can sell their products and give advice about farming production.
In both scales the open green is supported also with green houses to continue these activities also in the cold seasons. In the smallest scale the property of the agricultural production becomes private with urban gardens, green rooves, green balconies in the southern facades and green bowwindows in the northern facades. The project uses the agricultural sector as new generator that encourages and attracts people of different ages by proposing new activities and new job opportunities. In conclusion, two are the focuses of the proposal: to create a self-sustaining city that can respond to the demographic growth and recreate a new connection between nature and humanity.

REGENERATED SILOS
“My project is the best, because I have made it super looped!”
Learning from the old and embracing the new aims to both celebrate the existing qualities of Ystad old town and the harbour area whilst creating a new area which will give something back to the community.
Sustainable Urban Recycling
It will give back to the community by aiming creating an urban walkway along the coast. Making the seafront accessible to the citizens for the first time. The walkway will have a series of parks and free activities along the way for everyone to use. The area will also aim to add a new cultural spaces to act as an anchor in the area.
104
Many old buildings will be kept and repurposed as a homage to the history of the harbour area. New building plots are arranged to break wind tunnels and in a similar scale as the old town to try to emulate the “sticky streets” there. The streets are designed to have certain pinch points and in-between spaces to encourage interaction. Staggering floor
plans and keeping the blocks small will create more eye-catching facades. The streets are quite large to allow for a shared space where residents and local business owners can inhabit. There are trees and plants in every street in order to reduce the urban heat island effects. Smaller streets are designed to be pedestrian streets but can be accessed by car if needed. The site will be mixed use be so that the area will feel active and safe. However the most secluded area will be mostly housing and developed in the final phase whenever the harbour area is more established. In the mean time this area will be allotments to encourage more people to grow their own food. Once the area is densified many of the allotments will still remain and both locals and residents from the city will be able to use them.

“The idea is not to reinvent the
Sustainable Urban Recycling
harbour area from scratch.”
106
This project seeks to respond to the economic and cultural extension of the city to the harbour in Ystad. The harbour area is currently an industrial land and it is isolated from the city center. In other words, there is very little exiting group memory of the harbour among residents of Ystad. Therefore, the proposal started with one simple question, how to make the harbour area become part of Ystad?The idea is not to reinvent the harbour area from scratch. The first question we need to answer is, “what is Ystad?” The answer can be found just outside of the old town,” the cultivation”. Farming is a big industry here with long history, which not only brings the visitors longing for some fresh organic food, it also encourages the locals to grow their own food at home. The cultivation is more than an identity of Ystad, it is also a tool to build the community where the residents interact more with each other and become more responsible for the future
grow of the harbour. The development with three phrases is proposed where cultivating edible plants becomes an essential part of the strategy, which will tighten the new and the old, and the future communities. During phase one, “the be seen and to be aware”, a few key places are designed in order to attract people into the harbour area and establish the awareness of the new harbour. The second phase, “have a try”, aims to experiment the first group of small farms owned by the locals and set up a participatory process for the future development. Phase three “Participate and celebrate” means the integration of the community, cooperation and education. Eventually, a place that is more than just geographically part of Ystad will emerge.

The project gives greenery to the residents in terms of parks, trees and courtyards. Green material can also be found on roofs and walls. The name of the project Seafront Ystad is based on the open seafront that allows everyone to come close to the sea. Having an open sea front increases the value of green- and bluestructure in an urban environment. Developing next to the sea also comes with challenges, because we are facing a sea level rise the area must handle flooding. The strategies for the project connect old and new, walkable city and inclusive neighborhood are all connected to sustainability in different ways. Connect the old and the new means suturing the city. By slowing down the speed of the trains the connection between the two parts will increase. In a future phase of development more crossings for pedestrians can be added. Developing generators such
as preeschools, the wooden walk and both commercial and non commercial structure will help make people use the area. Seafront Ystad is a walkable city. It should be easy to live in the new area without a car. The location of the train station and a pedestrian and bicycle friendly area is a sustainable way of living both for health and for environment. The strategy of inclusive neighborhood means that the area offers places to live for people with special needs and diversed forms of tenure. It also means that the neighborhood is open for everyone even if you don’t live there.

WHAT: The proposal is based on strategy where future development strengthens the human scale and creates places where different actors coexists: old citynew city, residential-business-tourists, children-young-old, and blue-green. The proposed structure links scales together to support microclimate and provides flexible spaces for co-creation! WHY: The existing urban fabric of YSTAD is missing its connection to port as it fails to offer sufficient activities and individual programs to welcome people of all ages. I see the idea of redeveloping and expanding the port outwards as an incredible opportunity to contribute to the existing civic fabric and chances to meet the future crisis of accommodation, economy generation and sea level rise. HOW: The phased development envisions a seamless interaction of key elementsgenerous public realm, mixed use, compact housing area, and beach zone.
The first phase of project intends to weave a fine grain fabric that connects the old city center with the newly extended part and activate promenade with a series of recreational and cultural activities. Carefully placed mixed use buildings of residential+retail, retail+ office will complement the social nucleus to be as dynamic urban zone. Redevelopment will adaptively reuse the structures for a mix of commercial and cultural uses that complement the existing cultural fabric. Mainly a fine grain fabric that connects the old city center with the newly extended part and activate generous public spaces in front of newly opened waterfront encouraging sustainable connectivity: pedestrian- transport connections and public spaces compatible vital and active urban junctions: social nucleus that act as a stage upon which citizens can display themselves and be seen by others.

Neighbourfloods as a concept is using the threat of sea level rise and flooding by 100-year rainfall as an asset and enabling floodprotectioned and liveable neighbourhoods while inviting the water to be flooded in multifunctionaluse spaces and is aimed to be for everyone. The harbour is designed with the microclimate, climate change and biodiversity in focus. The aim is to have neighborhoods that connect with its surrounding with green and blue qualities aiming to establish a relation between the past and the future in Ystad as well as the people living there. By transforming and densifying the harbour with diverse dwellings and functions it is possible to offer a place to live for more people and even enhancing the opportunity to live in Ystad. Some of current buildings are recycled as generators (library, market hall, creative center) to facilitate and activate people both inhabiting and visiting Ystad.
By raising the ground floor level in in some parts of the harbour and incorporating an interconnected stormwater system with water containment basins and wetlands, a resilient edge to the city can be enabled. The resilient edge and the water containment basins are proposed to be activated be different uses and functions to enable social qualities.

My project sets off from the assumption that the sea level is rising and Ystad municipality has to act. I envision a project were this climate adaption is looked to as an asset. Something that can bring qualities and catch already existing ones. The climate of Ystad is rough, with prevailing winds and rain from south-west. Together with the scenery from the old industrial site, this quality is kept and strengthen by breakwater infrastructure and concrete walls. The dynamic defense, is dynamic in that the protection changes from the industrial setting to meet the new urban life centred around the station. Here, a lush green wall, inhabited by the citizens is created.
Centred around the reused industrial silos, the new kick-started identity is born. Cultural activities and local production, being a beacon of climate adaptions. It provides accessible spaces to enjoy the sun in the summer, and protects you from, as well as making you aware, of the rough weather in the winter.

Do you want to experience a new life? I create your the chance by building a mobile phone storage shop which is very close to the old train station. People can have a choice to put their mobile phones in this storage shop, and they will get a ticket for free fika. The challenges in Ystad are people are not very close to the seaside, and even do not have time to see the harbor. The train tracks hinder the connection of the old town and the harbor. So I reconnect the city center and the harbor with my design. The square in the harbor is very empty without vegetation and facilities, so I redesign the public space in the harbor square, using some landscape facilities and greenery. In order to bring people closer to nature, I created a large forest where people can fully interact with nature and the forest also contains urban farms. People can grow their own food. And this kind of
urban farm is also widely used in public green spaces between buildings. I design a type of building which builds on the sea in order to cope with the rise of sea level, connected by a wooden plank. I use a lot of green infrastructure in my project, such as rain garden, permeable paving, flow-through planter and so on. In addition, I mix use the function of building, which improve more employment and increase the convenience of commuting. In the future, Ystad will become a city which is full of new active.

Exhibition Autumn 2019 The results of two SUDes Master’s Program design studios Urban Recycling and Urban Dynamics were exhibited together in the Foyer of the School of Architecture from December 18th 2019 into early 2020 at the beginning of the spring semester.
The autumn semester design courses resulted in 81 unique proposals and sustainable visions for two sites: Dujiangyan, China (Urban Dynamics) and Ystad Harbor, Sweden (Urban Recycling). While dealing with completely different urban scales and context, the students of both studios have challenged the conventional approaches to sustainability and presented holistic proposals for their complex sites.
