HALLONBERGEN PARK

2019

By creating space for Sundbyberg’s town hall, in Hallonbergen, the nearby districts, Lilla Ursvik

and Järva, can be more connected with Hallonbergen.

Sundbyberg Town Hall is a node for administration and a center of power, however it is geo-

graphically isolated in Hallonbergen. As the different districts are already connected by greenery,

a future park placed next to the Sundbyberg’s town hall will serve as core element in the new

urban plan.

The urban plan also consists of new neighborhood housing and additional infrastructure that will

exploit the area, creating a more dense city center. The new neighborhoods will frame the park.

Existing main streets are redirected to give priority to pedestrian and bicycle traffic. Enköpingsvä-

gen and Ursviksvägen are being transformed into city streets where public activities operate on

the ground floor of the surrounding properties. Supporting functions such as grocery stores,

pharmacies, businesses, services, etc. are distributed in the neighborhood houses along the new

main streets.

The park and the courtyards together become a connecting piece of the puzzle for the green con-

nection between the nature reserve at Igelbäcken and Råstasjön. Vegetation is integrated along car

roads, walking paths, the neighborhood’s courtyards, square environments and the large park area.

The proximity to greenery is essential as it has a recreational and ecological value.
