Kombinerad sim- och sporthall belägen i sydligaste delen av Mellanbergsparken på gränsen mellan Hägerstensåsen och Västertorp i sydvästra Stockholm. Projektet handlar dels om anläggningens placering och roll i sin kontext - i förhållande till den befintliga centrumbildningen kring Hägerstensåsen med dess tidstypiska form och struktur. I förhållande till parkmiljön i Mellanbergsparken och dess funktioner samt parkmiljön i ett större sammanhang. Samt i förhållande till stråken på och i närheten av platsen, däribland inte minst den hårt trafikerade Södertäljevägen och de problem och möjligheter som detta medför.   Dels om anläggningens egna inre logik, de krav som ställs  på en modern, tillgänglig anläggning av detta slag och sambandet mellan de olika aktivitetsslagen inom byggnaden och de eventuella synergier som kan uppstå som resultat av detta. Samt hur verksamheterna inne i anläggningen samverkar med platsen och dess förutsättningar för att generera lokalisering, tematiska samband mellan inne och ute och utformning av allt från bärande system till detaljer. / Combined swimming and sports complex located in the southernmost part of Mellanbergsparken, on the border of Hägerstensåsen and Västertorp in southwestern Stockholm. The project deals in part with the facility's location och role in its context – in relation to to the existing local suburban center at Hägerstensåsen with its time typical form and structure. In relation to the park environment of Mellanbergsparken and its functions and also the park environment in a larger context. And also in relation to the roads and paths on and near the site, of which not least the heavily trafficked Södertäljevägen and the problems and possibilities which these entail.   In part with the facility's own inner logic, the demands imposed upon a modern, accessible facility of this kind and the relation between the different activity types within the facility and the possible synergies that can result from this. Furthermore how the activities within the facility interact with the site and its conditions to generate placement, thematic connections between inside and outside and design of everything from load bearing system to details.

<p>This dissertation deals with the period bridging the era of extreme housing shortages in Stockholm on the eve of industrialisation and the much admired programmes of housing provision that followed after the second world war, when Stockholm district Vällingby became an example for underground railway-serviced ”new towns”. It is argued that important changes were made in the housing and town planning policy in Stockholm in this period that paved the way for the successful ensuing period. Foremost among these changes was the uniquely developed practice of municipal leaseholding with the help of site leasehold rights (<i>Erbbaurecht</i>).</p><p>The study is informed by recent developments in Foucauldian social research, which go under the heading ’governmentality’. Developments within urban planning are understood as different solutions to the problem of urban order. To a large extent, urban and housing policies changed during the period from direct interventions into the lives of inhabitants connected to a liberal understanding of housing provision, to the building of a disciplinary city, and the conduct of ’governmental’ power, building on increased activity on behalf of the local state to provide housing and the integration and co-operation of large collectives. Municipal leaseholding was a fundamental means for the implementation of this policy.</p><p>When the new policies were introduced, they were limited to the outer parts of the city and administered by special administrative bodies. This administrative and spatial separation was largely upheld throughout the period, and represented as the parallel building of a ’social’ outer city, while things in the inner ’mercantile’ city proceeded more or less as before. This separation was founded in a radical difference in land holding policy: while sites in the inner city were privatised and sold at market values, land in the outer city was mostly leasehold land, distributed according to administrative – and thus politically decided – priorities.</p><p>These differences were also understood and acknowledged by the inhabitants. Thorough studies of the local press and the organisational life of the southern parts of the outer city reveals that the local identity was tightly connected with the representations connected to the different land holding systems. Inhabitants in the south-western parts of the city, which in this period was still largely built on private sites, displayed a spatial understanding built on the contradictions between centre and periphery. The inhabitants living on leaseholding sites, however, showed a clear understanding of their position as members of model communities, tightly connected to the policy of the municipal administration. The organisations on leaseholding sites also displayed a deep co-operation with the administration.
