Built station environments: Transforming places from A place to leave to places to Be

Purpose and goal

Using foresight methods, speculative design, and co-creation, we aim to develop a future prototype for 2040 to explore the design of station environments that support sustainable travel. The project brings together regional and municipal bodies, research, art, and design in cross-sector learning focused on incorporating people’s needs into station area planning. The goal is to create a more attractive and secure design that promotes public transportation, walking, and cycling.

Expected effects and result

The project will lead to increased knowledge and ability for cross-sectoral work with foresight, which strengthens goal-oriented processes at municipal and regional level. The project develops a method prototype for planning and design through co-creation with residents of Nol in Ale. Finally, a future prototype is created that shows how station environments in the Gothenburg region can be designed in 2040 to become attractive and accessible. The project will also result in a video production.

Planned approach and implementation

The work begins jointly with a training day on foresight methods. The next step is local coaching, where the cross-sectoral group from each municipality carries out their own foresight work with the support of RISE, adapted to local challenges. Workshops will then be carried out based on the results of the foresight work together with citizens of Nol. Based on these steps, a future prototype will be created. The process will be presented in a documentary video production.
