Neighbourhood Mosaic: Regeneration Project for the large-scale housing area in Malmö, Sweden
(2023) ASBM01 20231Department of Architecture and Built Environment
- Abstract
- The problem of outdated large-scale housing estates has been prevalent in many cities, resulting in unbalanced social issues, uncomfortable living conditions, and a lack of response to climate change. The research focuses on the Almgården area in Malmo, Sweden, and aims to address these challenges by proposing a sustainable design solution that can improve the quality of life for residents while reducing environmental impact.
The design methodology involved a comprehensive analysis of the existing urban features, connections, built environment and community needs, followed by the development of a design proposal that emphasizes densification and the introduction of diversified programs. The design also utilizes digital tools to test the...

The research focuses on the Almgården area in Malmo, Sweden, and aims to address these challenges by proposing a sustainable design solution that can improve the quality of life for residents while reducing environmental impact.
The design methodology involved a comprehensive analysis of the existing urban features, connections, built environment and community needs, followed by the development of a design proposal that emphasizes densification and the introduction of diversified programs. The design also utilizes digital tools to test the proposed solutions’ impact on the local climate and environmental sustainability.
The proposed design solutions include providing additional links and physical connections to the area, introducing a mixed-use environment and diverse building typologies, establishing magnets to invite new users, enhancing the existing park use, and creating recognizable public spaces. These interventions aim to create an attractive and connected community, provide a range of housing types, to impact on the local climate and environmental sustainability, also improve issues of social sustainabilty.
The outcomes of the research indicate that creating a connected and attractive community, incorporating a mix of housing types, and utilizing climate testing tools can significantly improve social qualities, create economic benefits, improve wellbeing, and contribute to environmental sustainability. The proposed design solution can serve as a model for future urban regeneration projects to promote more sustainable and liveable communities. (Less)
