Flemingsberg; Inclusive urban environment

Important results from the project

Knowledge of what the location needs to develop to achieve social sustainability during a long development construction period increased. Insight into the need for contacts with key people to reach out to the area. Deeper understanding of the importance of increasing cohesion by tying together the different areas and creating connections. A variety of contacts and collaborations have arisen with different actors, e.g. with property owners, associations, residents and businesses.

Expected long term effects

The increased knowledge of how residents can be included in dialogue work and the actual implementation of activities can be used in other areas. Trust between residents in the different parts increases through new meeting places. Contacts and forms of cooperation from the project will continue and deepen. Those who live and work in the area will gain an increased understanding of and knowledge of the development that will take place in Flemingsberg in both the short and long term.

Approach and implementation

A compilation of previous citizen dialogues was made. A project organization was built with participants from the various parties. A number of residents and those active in Flemingsberg were involved in a working group, mainly young adults. The working group developed proposals for activities and place development to increase social cohesion in the area. The work of the working group and the cooperation of the parties were central to the implementation. The project developed as planned.
