The area was examined from the following perspectives:

-Entrance points to the area and their perception: transforming backyards into front yards.

-Identifying and strengthening the different character traits of sub-areas in the urban landscape: biotopes, functions, accessibility.

-The urban and social impacts of infill construction: 24-hour life in the area, mixing of different functions.

The work was carried out by Sami Vikström Architecture Ltd and Karin Krokfors Architecture Ltd.
