MALMÖ - ROSENGÅRDEN

Urban Strategy

Rosengården in Malmö is part of the Swedish “million-program” from the 60’ties. With its 10.000 apartments and 25.000 residents it is one of the largest housing areas in Scandinavia. But like many modernist large scale housing areas it is deteriorated into a deprived housing area. Gehl Architects where asked to make a strategy plan for the redevelopment of the area, thus changing the physical isolation and mono-functionality of the area, affecting the pour integration as well as the cultural and economic segregation. The goal was to change the area into a well integrated and inviting neighborhood.
