H+ Mindzone is a different sizes. There are trends in our culture that we have versatile, poly-contextual and therefore also a new genuine to address to renew and update our way of life. Over half of urban area in Helsingborg. H+ Mindzone will be home to a the population in the world lives in cities and by 2050 this mix of activities, a mix of functions and a mix of uses and is expected to have reached 70%. The strong urbanization users. The area consists of different types of businesses, of the world puts vast demands on how we handle our learning institutions, housing, public spaces and cultural and resources to be able to live in a sustainable way. Many places recreational attractions. H+ Mindzone is also an area where in the world face risks in terms climate change, shortages of the city meets nature and where living meets working in new water and food, epidemics, hygienic aspects etc often with a ways for Helsingborg. combination of problems of changes in demography, safety and security and segregation. On the other hand our cities H+ Mindzone will break down existing barriers and create are full of opportunities and can be seen as the crossroads new passages, new structures of mobility and new patterns of flows of people that form the fundament for commerce, of movement. H+ Mindzone will therefore lead to an over- development of culture and touch points for welfare. Thinking all reshuffling of local residents’ routes of where to go about urbanization it is easy to relate to highly populated and how to go. H+ Mindzone will also bring new people areas in Asia or South-America. Places that have become to Helsingborg who will live, work or visit the area and iconographic because of the problems that get uncovered H+ MINDZONE will therefore also alter the mobility patterns when too many people come to together in one place without of the region as such. supporting social and technical infrastructure. In H+ Mindzone people share culture, world views, This is not the situation for Helsingborg and our part of the knowledge, competences or maybe just looks and bodily world today. The fundamental problems of urbanization presence. The most productive forms of sharing in the city where solved many years ago. Nevertheless we feel that takes place in settings characterized by diversity and mobility. we’re facing great challenges in the renewal of our cities as The public spaces of H+ Mindzone are for everyone or rather, places where our lives can unfold. there are public spaces for all kinds of people engaged in different kinds of activities whether it is walking the dog, What is urbanization in our daily life? It can be seen in new swimming in Öresund, playing ballgames, reading, drinking a construction sites such as Maria Park in Helsingborg, queues coffee, laying in the sun, going to a concert or just watching at the bus stop or traffic jam and crowded trains between people and life pass by. Sweden and Denmark. There are more people in Helsingborg today than there were ten years ago. In 2040, 400.000 more H+ Mindzone will be a living area all day, all week. H+ people will be living in the Öresund region. That is equal to Mindzone will display new ways and styles of inhabiting the one Göteborg or two Århus or four Helsingborg. That will city of Helsingborg. The area will contain new destinations have an impact on many things that surround us in our to visit, new places to work, new places to learn and new daily life. places to live in Helsingborg and the region. Following the creation of public spaces characterized by intimacy, friction There are no shortage of land. We are 20 inhabitants per km2 and accessibility H+ Mindzone will be a place celebrating the in Sweden compared to the world average of 48 inhabitants lighter touch forms of sociality and social living. per km2. Bangladesh has over 1000 inhabitants per km2. There is nothing that pushes us together and forces us to live The public spaces and places of H+ Mindzone generate new more compactly. Therefore we spread out and have longer urban experiences based on a mundane hospitality and an distances between living, working and relaxing. The climate ethics of conviviality as much as on fixed social identities and crisis has made it evident that urban sprawl is not a model communities. for a sustainable life in all its aspects.

Instead of spreading out we have to make things more concentrated. A more concentrated city will make it possible to abandon our dependence of the car and rely on public communications, bikes and walking. A concentrated city will in increase the friction between people in positive and negative ways. Concentration will lead to a higher pulse and dynamic city life. The chance of meeting some- one becomes more probable. But segregation and social differences will become more evident.

New agendas will rise. A higher concentration means a more intense urban experience. In terms of food a higher concentration equals more taste. What if we could use the analogy to food and make a city of of higher concentration – A city with more taste?

Mix Structureplan The H+ area and the districts west, south and east of it is a result of a zoned planning. They are in many aspects mono functional areas that need to be transformed in order to The values Generate, Mix, renew the city and create diversity in people, buildings, flows and activities. Introducing new activites in the H+ area will Connect and Share are used lead to a transformation of the surrounding districts. H+ as tools for the design of the Mindzone will be a place where the city meets nature and where living meets working in new ways for Helsingborg. This structural plan to support the mix of functions, activities and uses leads to a mix of people, H+ MINDZONE vision cultures, atmospheres and ways of living creating new urban experiencesin Helsingborg altogether.

Share Knutpunkten - Helsingborg Södra Ocean Pier In an urban setting dominated by a culture of sharing, the stranger is not so much an unwelcoming guest in a well defined, limited and therefore potentially excluding community but one among many strangers in a lively, diverse and challenging urban landscape. Sharing is the foundation of a certain urban tolerance or an ethics of being together Structural plan that will function as the social glue in H+ Mindzone leading Process plan Aquarium Campus to an increased social and human capital not only within the Master plan area but in the whole of Helsingborg. The southern areas Strategic projects of Helsingborg have potential but they are circumscribed of various barriers that cut them of from the city fabric. To be Green Front Park able to renew surrounding districts we have to increase the flow through them to speed up the change. In the structural Life Cycle Park plan of the H+ Mindzone we have specially focused on Principles and tools linking the edges of the area to surrounding districts to for planning, design and quality Green Front support them and incorporate the flows and activities into Gåsebäcksalléen the H+ area. Malmövägen Values Connect mix, share, connect, generate Öresund Water Sports Arena The H+ area is characterized by infrastructural connections rather than spatial connections. When we develop the area it Vision is important to transforsm the existing infrastructure into an H+ Mindzone Ravine Park urban network that joins the districts of the city together. We break down existing barriers and create new passages, new structures of mobility and new patterns of movement. H+ Mindzone will therefore lead to an overall reshuffling Core of local residents’ routes of where to go and how to go. Helsingborg in depth H+ MINDZONE will also bring new people to Helsingborg who will live, work or visit the area and alter the mobility patterns of the region as such.

Ramlösa Mobility Center Generate Helsingborg is a divided city both in social and spatial terms. It is evident that many of the existing generators such as Harbour view cultural institutions and parks is placed in the north of Helsingborg. This creates spatial and social barriers in the city where the people living in the north seldom visit Söder or vice versa. The tool of Generate is supposed to help us to create places and spaces that attract people from different parts of the city. The proposed places in the H+ area generate new ways of coming and being together in Helsingborg. H+ Mindzone will expand the cultural and recreational landscape and contribute to more united city.

Urban Greenery New Parks

For a dense city to be attractive it´s essential to have an evident green counterpart, e.g. an accessible series of public rooms creating a green spine. To assure that these green rooms are attractive it´s important to get residential and commercial buildings to flank and open up towards them. Streets line the public rooms to acquire a safe atmosphere with human presence.

Grafted over the entire length of the city from Hamntorg to Västhamnen, the boardwalk is adaptive in form and spatial diversity – covering, protecting, disassociated, expansive, indeterminate and highly specific – according to use, placement, and people. The waterfront is envisioned as a stage for intense social and recreational occupation, continually reinvented, and prepared for change. Can you skate on it – yes, some places. Take a taxi boat from it – yes. Swim from it – yes. Walk, cycle, run, wait, eat, drink, waste time, and create – yes.

These records shed light on the future direc- tion for the harbor and they boil down to two words: Ferries and Containers. Although the harbor today handles a diverse array of goods, the major growth has occurred in container handling and ferry traffic. As these sectors grow others are shrinking, most notable are the steep reductions in oil transport and traditional goods. The harbor has already significantly decreased its oil activities and is planning to convert a large portion of the oil terminal for container usage. Making plans for the future of Helsingborg thus means also making plans for how the city can better accommodate ferry traffic and container handling.

Master plan: Infrastructure Boardwalk

Helsingborg’s position in the greater Öresund region and its role as a connection to Helsingør and Denmark gives the City an inter- Scandinavian role and importance as a node for connection to the European continent. This role has not been significantly reduced by the Öresund water access bridge connections across quai bridge connection and would be further enhanced with the proposed Plateau HH-connection. However, in the current situation the harbor and ferry Boardwalk terminals are allowed to largely dictate the traffic situation in Helsingborg. The current street layout allows almost unrestricted car access to all parts of the city. Parking in the city is plentiful. Dual Stage

The relocation of the ferry terminals structure attached to edge of existing will dramatically reduce the amount pier of traffic in the city and the H+ area. structure follows edge upon existing bath houses pier Public transport is not merely a means of transport, but rather a key element for redevelopment and contribution to urban life. With H+ we are in the unique position of an almost carte blanche; the develop- ment can, from day one, integrate a fully sustainable transport system. At the same time we can help to change the overall traffic situation in Helsingborg towards a more pedestrian, bicycle and public transport oriented approach.

Neutralbenefit

The total area splits between re- sidential and workplace programs and the layout of infrastructure and public transport have been designed to find an optimal balance that will ensure that the urban plan be realized without an increase in car traffic in Helsingborg. To what extend must the use of cars be altered in the remainder of Helsing- borg to achieve the urban develop- ment in the extended competition area without an increase in the total car traffic for the city? In order to achieve the goal for urban development without increasing total amount of car trips, the calculation shows:

- Pedestrian and Bikes - Public Transport - Cars

Structureplan Towards a Knowledge City

History has proven that universities have a talent power to grow and expand, often in unpredict- able ways. They also are able to dramatically transform the areas outside of their immediate boundaries. They cannot be seen in isolation from the surrounding world. The University of Lund’s campus is a critical element whitin Helsingborg’s urban realm and its potential should be unlocked to equal the strength of the harbor as the city´s driving force.

The consolidated transport spine Greening Helsingborg and the new knowledge artery

A new linear park and a integrated green landscape strategy will provide the city with a green heart. As he city meets the park, it rises to provide spectacular viws across to Denmark From a city for cars to a city for people and Helsingborg. Towards the edges, it falls away to a lower rise scale, creating a sense of space. The park becomes the connective tissue between the university, the transport inter- change and the city centre.

Infrastructure

A day in the area 3. Pick up a bicycle for the day I haven’t seen Magnus for 25 years Lars and Magnus had been good friends when they studied together in – Since we were students Helsingborg in 2009. After they graduated, Magnus stayed on to do post- together in Helsingborg at the graduate study and subsequently established his own logistics company, Lund Univesity. He looks quite while Lars left to pusue a career in engineering in Stockholm. Some 25 different …allathough some thing years later - May 2035 - they meet up again on Lars’ return visit to the city don’t change…everybody here still of his student years... cycles everywhere. We pick up one of the free “Borg-bikes” for hire for the day.

1. Arrival

View from a distance of the city from the ferry: waterside park, city tumbling down to the water’s edge, the harbor, the container port is still a strong presence, bur seems much more a part of the city.

4. Picnis by the water in the new park

There’s a new waterside park where the ferry terminal used to be! We meet up with Magnus’ family and have lunch by the water.

2. Meeting Magnus at the new transport interchange

This is an amazing 21st Century transport experience! There’s everything here – seems like the world has come to Helsingborg! Magnus said he’ll be arriving by electric travelator – apparently it takes him direct to the interchange from the park next to his appartement.

It is a the car parking is now all below dynamic new area full of graduate ground, and hardly anyone drives start-up companies, with strong here anymore. You have everything links to the university. The perfect you need close to hand. stepping stone from student life to business.

8. Shopping for dinner

Magnus suggests we stop off to buy som fresh fish for dinner on the way home – there is a fish- monger in the new shopping area next to the park. We remember the bad old days of having to drive to the out-of-town supermarket for our groceries!

6. Visit to the University

A trip to Helsingborg could not be complete without a visit tour to our old haunt – the Lund University campus. When we were students, the University was a world apart from the city. Now it is at its heart! After winding our way through the pretty cycle lanes, we come to “University Street”. It is 21st May – the city’s official birthday, and the whole street is animated today with live music, kiosks selling books, flowers,… even herring! The campus has become a hub of activity for people of all ages – there is something for everyone here. It is as if Helsingborg has become a true “knowledge city”.
