EGAs proposal for Nyhamnen in Malmö. The 77 hectare city center expansion will give Malmös city core it's first cosmopolitan waterfront. Canals brings the water and blue ecology deep into the neighborhood. A green loop integrates and give proximity to the local biotope and green spaces. A diversity of public spaces, architectural typologies and urban ideals creates a diversity of places for everyone. A cultural market and a world cultural center fosters global empathy.

The vision

1. The area: An extensionof the city center where the blue and green structure merge into one.

6. A shared economy loop and a promenade loop

7. More than 300 different public spaces, gives space to different target groups.

8. More than 30 different subareas with different urban ideals

9. Direct movements between clear destinations.

Images

A gate towards the sea creates an inner urban lagoon. This creates blue attractions, handles storm water and cut costs for rising sea levels.

The water is brought into the development by new canals. Canal views generate higher development incomes and public spaces by the canals brings attractivity into less attractive areas of the development. The dug out landmasses can be used for soil remediation and landfills to cut the global budget and C02 emissions during the global development.

Canal walks connects to Malmös canal tradition.

A fine grain street network focusing on all types of mobility.
