Syftet med detta arbete är att skapa en gemensam mötesplats för att föra samman människor och skapa en gemenskap i storstaden där alla är välkomna. En plats som möjliggör nya arbeten, nya bostäder och nya platser för aktiviteter i form av en satellitstad vid namn Klara.Projektet undersöker ett alternativ till ABC-staden i centrala Stockholm, influerad av megastrukturer i brutalistisk anda.Platsen är Klara Mälarstrand och har valts för att utvidga huvudstaden inom Stockholms gränser och använda den oanvända platsen.Klara Mälarstrand är en grov miljö som saknar grönområden trots att det är ett av de bästa lägena i Stockholm, alldeles intill Riddarfjärden. / The purpose of this work is to create a mutual place to bring people together and create solidarity in the big city where everyone is welcome. A place that opens up for new jobs, new housing and new places for activities in the form of a satellite city called Klara.The project investigates an alternative to the ABC city in central Stockholm, influenced by megastructures in a brutalistic spirit. The site is Klara Mälarstrand and has been chosen to expand the capital within Stockholm’s borders and to use the unused site. Klara Mälarstrand has a rough environment that lacks green areas even though it is one of the best locations in Stockholm, right next to Riddarfjärden.

Sprawl seems an inevitable phenomenon because of the rapid expansion in urban area. It has some negative consequences, such as long transport distance to work, high car dependence and inadequate facilities. Recently, it pointed as causing a lot of urban problems and the situation has been worsening. This thesis asks the question: could there be a conscious way to prevent this issue? To deal with it, this thesis firstly conducts an intensive study about theories of compact city and satellite city. In the second part, in order to investigate how those theories are reflected and implemented in real examples, this thesis analyzes two cases and discusses about how urban sprawl happened in London and Shanghai as well as to what extent theories were served in these two cities. The investigation produces some results related to the process of urbanization, common actions which authorities would take towards it, and some highlights in the pre-experience. So when facing with urban sprawl, the measure might be dealt with it in a more conscious way.
