Abstract

The landscape is a great asset for Göteborg as a city and places in the landscape are
much used by the public. This diploma work deals with the question of how nature
in Göteborg can become more accessible and how a place in it can be supplemented
with new landscape elements. It is a proposal for a new urban park at Björlanda
peninsula in the western part of Hisingen, Göteborg, which today belongs to
the Swedish Armed Forces and is a part of the Nature-2000 area "Nordre älvs
estuarium". The reason for choosing this place is that it is the only area around the
costal area in Göteborg that has not been built on and that it contains a very varied
landscape.

The proposal is presented as three different broschures, dated 10-20 years ahead:

A map of a possible system of urban parks including a detail of such a park,
Västra Hisingen (the western parts of Hisingen)
The idea with a system of urban parks is to make the landscape generally more
accessible and maybe open it for people that do not use it today.

A broschure of the central area Välkommen, with my design proposal for an
urban park at Björlanda peninsula
The design aims to utilize the landscape elements water, mountains, vegetation
and sky and to intensify the experience of them.
