The first part of this thesis focuses on the theory of a car free city. It does a shallow dive into the theory on garden cities by Ebenezer Howard and how his plans can function as a starting line for this thesis. Furthermore, we take in the concept of how to Copenhagenize a city with Copenhagen itself as a point of interest. The thesis also adds on an answer of what will happen with the cars when they are moved out of the city.A couple of case studies are added as base for the understanding of how this kind of project can function. However, as this thesis is in a new field of study these cases are only partially relevant to the concept since a perfect case does not exist yet.This thesis should serve as an eye opener for both the general public and private investors and municipalities alike. Nowadays as more and more people are focusing green energy and how to minimize pollution in accordance with the Paris decree. A large factor will be on how to modernize our cities. This thesis illustrates the concept of removing the cars from the cities and how such a city infrastructure could work. Also showcases the authors own project that is created in accordance with the concept where he has created the city center for an area that is developed for a car free city.

Breadcrumbs is a continuation of the collaboration between Robertsfors municipality, ARKNAT, and Umeå School of Architecture, to create site-specific wind shelters along the hikingpath of fiske- and flottarstigen aiming to revitalize the path and promote a new experience in nature. The objective with “Breadcrumbs” is to attract attention and promote tourism in the municipality without solely relying on the anticipated railway project Norrbottniabanan by creating an architectural spectacle that aligns with the aesthetic expression of one of the wind shelters. The concept of nanotourism is used as a tool throughout the project as a critique towards the social and environmental strains associated with tourism. By doing so “Breadcrumbs” aim to cultivate a sense of pride and ownership within the local community and be mindful of the rural context. The project establishes a network of information spots along the hiking path, where the primary material is wood. These spots, strategically located near bus stations to encourage car-less transportation, feature bulletin boards displaying current events, maps of activities and detours, and a leisure library offering equipment like skis, and bikes to borrow. This enriches the hiking experience and enhances the attractiveness of the path. Medborgarhuset serves as the central node of the network. Lanterns are designed to be the structure's load-bearing elements. Medborgarhuset acts as a destination in itself due to its design, programs, and location, but also serves as the starting point for the exploration of the rest of Robertsfors.
