The Tolerant City
Helsingborg - first prize
The Tolerant City is an urban planning project, developing the southern part of Helsingborg. The project grows in the H+ area through a flexible and instructive planning process. The point of departure is Helsingborg’s unique characteristics, the landscape, the water, history and the current well-run activities. The inherent wishes for proximity to water, sustainability in both the social and the physical sense, meeting places and diversity have been staple requirements in the preparation of this project. The structure plan is prepared with time as the fourth dimension, with the intention of examining how The Tolerant City might be able to grow, fully formed and yet constantly pointing towards its own continuation – updating and transforming– peaceably, but not vapidly. Collaborating partners on the project are: Schønherr Landscape, Transsolar, VIA Trafik, General Public Agency, bbn consult, FB Engineering and Jens Kvorning.
