Interview with manager of Real Estate Agent 'Mette Lykken Bolig'

Today Niklas and I interviewed The manager of the Malmö branch of 'Mette Lykken Bolig'.
She gave us some valuable insight into what danish people are looking for when buying real estate in Sweden. Hopefully this will help us develop our idéa of a "Little Denmark" in Malmö.

rail network

How can we make the rail a superior alternative to car traffic in the O-region? What needs to be done in order for people to choose to go by rail instead of by car? This we´ve decided to investigate further. Though it might had been even more interesting and relevant to look at public transport in general, time limitations made us decide to focus on rail traffic. We haven´t yet made our interview, but we´ll try to arrange one with Peter Möller from Öresundskommittén next week.

Brain attraction

Hej,
We finally did our interviews and we managed to get an interesting melting pot for our investigation (Hungarians, Dutch and Swedish).
Brain gain in the O-region is our mission, attraction is our codename!
Next week: investigation level...
Até já, Viszlát, Salut!

Renewable !!

We have decided to work with wind power
Pure and renewable energy is important for a sustainable living.

  • How to combine wind power and environment in a aesthetic way?
  • How can we establish living areas and powerfarms in the same neighbourhood?
  • Can we create a positive opinion of wind power?
  • Are there other alternativ of energy sources?
This subject has many aspects and we are looking forward to work with it. Hopefully we'll find some answers and come up with new ideas.

A Productive Landscape...

Hej!
We are working hard towards developing a stronger image for the Öresund region. We are playing with the idea of "a Productive Landscape". For us this holds so many possibilities. The areas we are focusing on are the borders or urban fringe... also known by some people as the "non-places". Let's see if we can change that!
All for now, over and out.

our little group

Hej!

Finally we formed our group and we found our perfect topic on yesterday. In time I think. We will work on the brain gain of the region. You will see it.

carrot cake anyone?

We have interviewed Alf Hornborg, a professor at the University of Lund. when asked about the possibility of a future sustainable relationship between shopping centers and cities, his suggestion was to simply 'shut down the shopping centers'. If you are a customer at a shopping center in the öresund region, than you are a european with more money than meaning in life! Over the next few weeks, we are hoping to provide a more optimistic view for how shopping can evolve in the region.
We have also contacted architects and city planners, and we will keep you posted with the outcomes.
have a nice weekend!
