"We understand Gottsunda Centre as a vibrant, well-used and appreciated area, while its demographic is relatively narrow with socioeconomically vulnerable groups. The area is car-oriented, dominated by 2–3 room apartments, and a centrally placed large scale centre building. The proposal is based on citizen dialogue, diverse public spaces, continuous green structures and as a last step, new buildings."
