Kattarp & Hasslarp: two villages - one landscape

Sammanfattning: Out on the agricultural flat country side of Skåne, outside the city of Helsingborg, two small villages are located; Kattarp and Hasslarp. During the past 15-20 years they have struggled with social problems, criminality and bad publicity. They are today at a breaking point, and the municipality of Helsingborg has realised the villages? true potential of life in the countryside with easy commuting to Helsingborg and the rest of the region. The aim for our degree project is to make a proposal of sustainable development for Kattarp and Hasslarp. The villages should be provided with a concept and a strategy for how they can develop in the future, mainly as individual villages, but also as parts of the Öresund region. We have chosen to work with the villages and the landscape as a totality without going too deep into details. Our work is the base for a future more detailed planning phase.
