Abstract [en]

Post-pandemic, people are more inclined towards outdoor activities, yet factors like city density, infrastructure, long winter nights, and extreme weather hinder access to green spaces. My project aims to reorganize urban spaces in Stockholm, enhancing life year-round. Focusing on the densest city center, I identified green spaces interrupted by highways, limiting accessibility. I selected the corridor from Skanstull to Gullmarsplan, an essential link between central and southern Stockholm, intersected by three highway bridges. My strategy connects existing green spaces, creating continuous links for easier access, improving the urban environment in both summer and winter.The design proposal incorporates three main strategies to enhance outdoor activities along the corridor. Firstly, it prioritizes improving accessibility. Secondly, it focuses on enhancing comfort by implementing measures to block wind, maximize exposure to sunshine, and provide warming huts during colder months. Finally, it utilizes color and lighting design to create visually stimulating environments that remain inviting even during nighttime hours.
