robertoOVALLEBergen Arkitekt Skole / Høst 2009

Rosengård before September 23rd, 2009.

A city within a city.

From exclusion… …to inclusion.

How?

Experience Rosengård!

“A wildlife corridor or green corridor is an area of habitatconnecting (…) populations separated by human activities (…)This allows an exchange of individuals between populations…”

Wikipedia

URBAN-LIFE CORRIDOR“A transitional space located between larger geographic areas.Urban-life corridors hold a potential as connecting regions,where characteristics of several human groups and activities

can be blended to produce new, unexpected results.”

Every border has the potential of becoming a bridge.

Today, Rosengård is a bricolage of largely monofunctional

spaces connected bystreets and sidewalks.

However, this can change.
