From an obsolete traffic solution to a new meeting point

This project involves:

• A new meeting point
• Water regulation (Lake Mälaren)
• Transport solutions
• Building overpasses

Hammarby Sjöstad

In 1996, it was decided that Hammarby Sjöstad would be built as a shining example of environmental adaptation. Thus, it became the city's first district to have an environmental profile, where technical installations, buildings and road features were adapted to the environment.

Hammarby Sjöstad was designed to be an Olympic Village and the environmental aspects were thus given a prominent role. Although the Olympics went to Athens instead of Stockholm, Hammarby Sjöstad developed into one of Stockholm's largest urban development projects with an elevated environmental profile.

The project involves:

• Integrated urban planning
• Transport solutions, good access to public transport and well-developed cycle paths.
• Efficient energy solutions, for example, heating of houses with purified waste water
• Waste collection related to real estate
• Waste disposal system
• Food waste collection
• Communal and private services such as shops, health care and restaurants
