Energi och miljöstudent vinner Nordic City Challenge 2016.

Årets Nordic City Challenge genomfördes 9-12 oktober i Göteborg och gruppen The Urban Huggers med bl.a. Energi och miljöstudenten Linus Olausson vann med sitt bidrag Stepping Stones som de beskriver:

“The project aims to bring the Swedish archipelago into the city center and to combine it with the industrial history of Lindholmen. The idea of stepping stones is to create continuity and diversity with green stepping stones that connect the bigger green areas in Gothenburg and with residential and cultural stepping stones which bring activity and liveliness into the area. The Island stepping stone psychologically shortens the distance between the two shores while also functioning as a shelter for the cyclists and pedestrians crossing the bridge via the island. The different programming and functions of the stepping stones combines the team's disciplinary expertise’s and addresses the issues in Lindholmen holistically. The issue of homogeneous demography is tackled by bottom-up approach that leaves space for the citizens' own creativity and promotes the idea of alternative living environments as well as green spaces”.
