Kjellander Sjöberg, Gottsunda, Uppsala
The municipality of Uppsala is shaping a socially sustainable Gottsunda through community-driven planning, enhancing the district's diversity and local activism. This long-term framework aims to transform Gottsunda into an integrated urban and transport node within south Uppsala. The plan envisions vibrant streetscapes, new urban blocks, and public spaces, anchored by a new tram line along Hugo Alfvéns väg. Gottsunda Torg will become a central hub for commerce and culture, replacing parking lots with green, pedestrian-friendly areas. Seven innovative block typologies guide this development, ensuring Gottsunda’s transformation into a diverse, unique, and dynamic neighbourhood. Dive into the full plan for more!
