Summary:

During the last decade, Göteborg city has been faced great challenges in development of its waterfront areas. On one hand, there are many abandoned industrial land placed next to the water in central parts of the city which need to be renewed. On the other hand, there is a high risk of flooding in these low‐lying areas due to future climate changes.

The intention in this project is to introduce an appropriate urban waterfront structure in Frihamnen- former shipyard area along the Göta River in central Göteborg- which fulfills both economic and environmental needs of the society. In other word, the purpose is to find a balance between economic growth and the need to address climate change in the development of this area. Download the complete project description from here.

Approach


The project consists of two parts, theory and practice. Theoretical part will be an investigation into climate change adaptation and mitigation and its relationship with sustainable development. The effort in the second part will be to reassess and substantiate the drawn conclusions from the theoretical part by adopting them to an actual urban planning and design project at Frihamnen.
