| description | 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. |

Selångersån rinner genom Sundsvall och delar staden i två delar då den slingrar sig i Selångerdalen mellan Södra- och Norra Stadsberget och ut i Östersjön. Ån är ett riksintresse för naturvård men ligger samtidigt mitt i ett område för stadens framtida stadsutveckling. Detta skapar en komplex situation vad gäller utveckling kontra bevarande av en naturmiljö. Detta projekt är ett försök att skapa en strategi för landskapsurbanism för området kring Selångesfjärden, fyra kilometer uppströms längs Selångersån. Fjärden är en känslig våtmark, i dag bortglömd men med stor potential att föra in den vilda naturen som en aktiv del av staden. Eller snarare att inleda en process där den byggda miljön gradvis kan infiltrera och berika naturmiljön. En stadspark i detta läge kan inleda denna process och den kan bli ett gemensamt projekt för stadens invånare och har kapaciteten att bli ett projekt i ständig utveckling. Tanken med projektet är att erbjuda en stor ekologisk park och mötesplats nära centrum. Detta kommer att åstadkommas genom att tydliggöra de verksamheter och de värden som redan finns i parken, till exempel länets största levande delta, fotbollsplaner och en medeltida kyrkoruin och genom att skapa nya vägar. Parken är skapad utifrån en central mötesplats med idén om ett delta. Hela parken har ett deltas logik med slingrande gångvägar på åkrarna och gångbroar i sumpskogen och över vattnet. 2011-10-16 Second cycle, A2E NonPeerReviewed application/pdf swe https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/3349/1/dehlin_j_111016.pdf Dehlin, Johanna, 2010.
