Kvartersintegrering

Sammanfattning: Through the different stages of life people have different requirements for their homes. The requirements changes depending on people’s life situation, lifestyleand age. Depending on where people are in life they live in different place, often in areas with other people who are in the same stage of life. In Sweden, this separation has always been noticeable, sometimes more than other. To minimizethis separation it’s required to take measures that make people from different stages of life come together. By offering people a home that suits them in an area with a high degree of differentiation, people from different stages are brought together. This refers to differentiation regarding apartments, houses, shops, workplaces and social service functions. Collecting apartments that suits different consumer groups in one single block leads to a higher degree of understanding among neighbors and make people from different generations come together. When the block is supplied with workplaces, shops, coffee shops and restaurants along with other social service functions a city life is created which resembles Sweden during the 1950’s. A society where once work, stores and social functions were important to have in your surrounding area. This is reflected in a richer urban life and a higher degree of movement in the neighborhood.
