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.
