| Sumario: | The river Selångersån runs through the
northern Swedish city of Sundsvall, splitting
the city in two as it winds through the
valley between Södra- and Norra Stadsberget
and out into the Baltic Sea.
The river is a national interest of nature conservation
but at the same time in the middle
of an urban development string for the city,
creating a complex situation of development
contra conservation of natural environment.
This project attempts to create a strategy of
landscape urbanism for the area surrounding
Selånger Bay, four kilometers upstream
along Selångersån. A sensitive wetland, today
rather forgotten but with great potential
for introducing wild nature as an active part
of the city. Or rather, initiating a process
where the built environment can infiltrate
and enrich the natural environment gradually.
A city park in this location to initiate this
process could be a joint project of the city’s
residents with the scope to become a project
in constant development.
The idea of the project is to offer a large ecological
park and meeting place near the city
center. This will be achieved by clarifying
the activities and values that already exist
in the park, such as the largest living delta
i the region, football fields and a medieval
church ruin, and by creating new paths. The
park is created from a central meeting place
with the idea of a delta. The entire park has
the logic of a delta with winding walkways
on the fields and footbridges in the swamp
forest and across the water. |
