The subject of the masters thesis is an urban solution of the area circumscribed by the streets Sportovní, Drobného, tř. Gen. Píky, Porgesova. The emphasis is put primarily on restoring and enhancing the central point, which is the football stadium, building more effective conection to nearby traffic hubs and revitalising the surrounding parks. Estimated result is to bring back the sport function to the area as well as overall increase of the interest from public.

Abstract   This papers aims to discuss the potentiality of tourism and recreation in Stockholm by developing its waterfronts. Waterfronts neighbourhood of south side of Kungsholmen has been taken as a case study which has lots of potentiality to develop in terms of tourism and recreations. Urban waterfronts planning and redevelopment is currently a civic interest which consists of both challenges as well as opportunities. It has adapted different significant in different urban cultures. Waterfronts by the side of Kungsholmen are unique and valuable resources of Stockholm. However, most of the waterfronts recreation grounds are not well designed and located or not properly linked with the nearby tourist destinations. The goal of the study is to create good quality recreation space along the waterfronts of the south side of Kungsholmen and connect them with the central tourist spots of Gamlastan. The study has done through literature reviews of overseas examples to formulate the performance criteria that help to evaluate the existing quality of waterfront recreation development and to formulate the urban design guidelines. The study will take a macro level study on the entire waterfronts area.

The urban landscape is a diverse environment that is constantly evolving. Such change does not remove and replace all of the remnants of the city\'s past, however, and the remaining artifacts become key pieces of local identity as a result of their persistence. Even so, artifacts are also complex entities and their definition and value can be drastically different given the context in which they exist. Nonetheless, artifacts can be broadly understood as interactive elements in the urban landscape that become enmeshed in their surrounding community, and serve a vital role as a result. This enquiry examines that role of artifacts in the urban landscape and seeks to uncover how such a role can inform effective design practice into the future. / Master of Landscape Architecture

This project aims on exploring ways to redefine the relationship of gender and space through urban design. Gender inequalities expressed in spatial manners have been theorized by feminist geography, an approach to human geography. Having a good understanding of this theoretical context will provide the tools to tackle distantiation, spatial separation, constraint and the limited spatial opportunities women experience in public places. Using Rinkeby square as the canvas for this exploration, the effort will be put on mapping the uses of the square through observation, quantitative research, as well as interviews with local organisations, shops and authorities close to the square. An inventory of the architectural features of the square will be made along with a site analysis focusing on the questions of effects on equality. Furthermore existing female networks and societies in the area will be contacted seeking possible collaborations for a later project work, workshops or events. Finally, as a result of the initial investigations, this project intends to explore how a physical intervention would affect these questions at Rinkeby square. It is the working hypothesis of this project that any project in order to be successful would need to be based on a deeper understanding of the challenges surrounding female presence on the square, and be tied into the already existing networks for women. This project therefore hopes to establish contact with existing female networks such as (D)Järva Kvinnor, Café Respekt and Tensta-Hjulsta Kvinnocenter, amongst others.

This master project adresses the challenge of transforming the former Bergs Oil Terminal in Nacka into an adaptive, collaborative, and socially just environment supporting the development of a self-sufficient post petroleum society. As tools, it experiments with temporary "pop ups" with various life cycles. The project critically examines urban development under the viewpoint of bottom-up activities where future development must be adapted to current socio-economical conditions and ecological concerns.

Nacka should become an apprehensible city. This thesis aims to create a basic, strategic framework and approach described as a set of strategies and principles which will be used to make a design proposal. The strategies and principles will be used to identify and understand the barriers (e.g. highways, hills etc) and possibilities (e.g. existing urban areas, public spaces, green paths etc) of and for Nacka City’s spatial development and to reach a criterion for densification and “city making“ (concepts from Nacka’s “FÖP”). The main concern is to identify and investigate the barriers, functions, values and assets of Nacka (and its connections to Stockholm) as well as the general goals set up by the municipality. By understanding the existing conditions, and to be aware of the future evolvement and development of Nacka, I will try to identify and locate appropriate locations for urban growth and densification. This location/s, depending on the strategies and principles revealed by the framework, will then be presented as a design proposal.

Taking as a starting point the theory and concept of Landscape Urbanism, this thesis project explores an alternative solution for the regeneration of old industrial areas using a case study: the design of Slakthusområdet in Stockholm. The project focuses on how to use landscape as a medium to transform Slakthusområdet into a sustainable, attractive, and people friendly area. And at the same time integrate it into a wider urban context. It covers two aspects: First, the integration of the site in the surrounding green network. Second, the regeneration of the green infrastructure inside of the site that could add ecological and social values to the site.
