    Pågående och planerad stadsutveckling i Göteborg city 1 Göteborgs Citysamverkan 2021-01-12 www.goteborg.se/citysamverkan Inledning - En ny stadskärna växer fram Trots Coronakris fortsätter och planeras en mängd betydande utvecklingsprojekt i och omkring stadskärnan för att bibehålla och stärka Göteborgs och Västsveriges attraktionskraft. Sammanställningen av pågående och planerad stadsutveckling syftar till att ge en samlad bild över utvecklingen för att bland annat: • Visa hur planer och projekt utvecklar och påverkar stadskärnans attraktivitet och att stadens olika aktörer tillsammans varje dag arbetar med utvecklingen av stadskärnan. • Utgöra underlag för prioriteringar och utvecklingsinriktningar hos stadens aktörer, bland annat behov av upprustning av befintliga platser och stråk för att ytterligare binda samman stadskärnans nya och gamla platser och stråk. • Utgöra samlat informationsunderlag för investerings och/eller etableringsbeslut för större och mindre företag inom bland annat fastighetsbranschen, besöksnäringen och handeln. • Berätta för stadens användare om alla delar som tillsammans stärker Citys regionala, nationella och internationella attraktions- och konkurrenskraft. • Illustrera hur alla byggnationer runt om i staden kommer att skapa ett nytt Göteborg. Många projekt är beslutade, pågår och ska färdigställas. Flera planer och projekt kan dock förändras från idéstadie till byggstart eller kanske rentav inte förverkligas överhuvudtaget. Det är dock viktigt att redan i tidiga skeden lyfta fram tankegångar, planer och beslutade
