Hammarby Sjöstad
Hammarby Sjöstad is Stockholm's biggest urban development project. Hammarby Sjöstad means ‘city surrounding Hammarby Lake’ and this 200 ha brownfield development was conceived to expand the inner city with a focus on the water, while converting an old industrial and harbour area into a modern, sustainable neighbourhood. This project very similar to my final work, including ecology and environmental sustainability.
When I visited the site already covered in snow everywhere. The view was obstructed by snow but even though it happend the site was the most attractive place.
Key Principles
- Inspiring sustainable development
- Developing an eco system
- Integrating with surroundings
Hammarby Sjöstad is a good example of the Swedish “green welfare state” approach to Eco-towns and shows how it can “promote sustainable development, new jobs, growth and welfare” into the future. As well as being ecologically innovative, it is also socially ambitious inline with the Swedish government mandate that all citizens should be provided with a decent, safe, affordable home that will be sustainable in the long term.
