| Summary: | How can former military area I5 in Östersund, Sweden, evolve into Stadsdel Norr ("The Northern Quarter") – an attractive part of the town center? In a theoretical part of the essay the significants of well functioning towns and streets are investigated. The history of Östersund and I5 is shortly reviewed. Present recommendations concerning city design are presented along with guidelines from Vägverket (National Road Administration) for urban streets. The conclusion reached is that a fundamental structure of streets and roads, public and private spaces, is crucial for the possible future development of an area. A town plan suggests one such possible structure. According to the wishes of Östersund's Town Council a design for a street is also presented. |
