40 minuter söder om Stockholm

Sammanfattning: Ostlänken, Sweden's first high-speed railway is to be completed in 2027. Nyköping is located right in between the two end destinations. The initiative aims to link the regional economies and reduces the travel time to Stockholm from todays’ one hour to 40 minutes. Today we are getting fed the  word "resecentrum" that more or less equals adding a vast amount of shopping facilities to the station building. The often mall-like environments focuses on commerce, targeting travelers with money, who in reality may not spend as much time in the station as calculated. In a fairly small town like Nyköping, it would be risky to propose a station with a shopping mall, which risks to outcompete the well-functioning and vibrant city center. My proposal for a new bus- and train station in Nyköping will instead target those who actually spend some time there - the young people! Many students actually live outside the city but go to school there. They also use public transport and the municipality pay their bus card. With that said, many young people will be using Nyköpings' new station on a daily basis. I have sought a robust, tolerant feeling throughout the proposal, as it subsides well with the environments associated with bus and train stations. Graffiti, parkour and skateboarding cultures has long taken these areas in use. If not that kind of cultural expressions are allocated a place in the city, it will most likely be exercised there anyway. A graffiti wall in my station is therefore so obvious that it has got a prominent position.
