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.

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!

strategies for urban ecological sustainable development

We are planning to form a strategy for sustainable urban development with an ecological aspect, that can be applied on city parts, residentioal areas and regions. This will be put together in a small booklet that holds three parts. The first is the background, where we investigate existing plans, areas and also make an interview. The second part is our strategy. The third part is the application of the strategy on to a certain place. This will be presented with drawings, text etc.

Looking forward to it!

SpaceHunters interview

We have now sent mails to Novasol (a danish company that rents out cottages all over Europe) and LRF (The Federation of Swedish Farmers) with questions about countryside tourism. When their offices are in Gothenburg or Stockholm, we decided to do the interviews via mail. Now we are waiting for response and hopefully some good answers...
