Eco-districts

Mixed land use strategy

SRS

A key strategy for sustainable urban development underlying the sustainability program for SRS is ‘vibrant city.’

The program for SRS aims at a mix of housing, offices, shops, amenities, and public services and facilities combined with well-designed, varied public spaces—streets, parks, and squares—as important meeting places that create conditions for a lively atmosphere between the buildings.

Quayside walkways will be laid out along the port areas, with offices, restaurants, bars, and shops, conference centers, theaters, gyms, and hotel, helping to create a mixed urban development full of life and activity

The dynamic of the city will be reflected in the diversity of living accommodation and the range of amenities, culture, and entertainment. Housing, amenities, and public spaces will be distinguished by accessibility and modernity.

Western Harbor

Western Harbor is a district with a mixture of housing, services, industries, workplaces, education, and recreation.

The district has a unique, attractive location with urban and natural features; it is within walking distance of the inner city, has good transport links.

By continuing to develop these qualities and building a mixed city, it will be possible to link Western Harbor to the central parts of Malmö.
