Online publication of this work: http://epsilon.slu.se FÖRORD Under våren 2015 var jag med i en idétävling för unga skapad av Sundbybergs kommun. Tävlingen gick ut på att komma med en nyskapande idé för vad man kan göra på den plats som blir tillgänglig i staden när järnvägen läggs i en tunnel. Kommunen ville ha ungas idéer eftersom de var nyfkna på vad unga ville ha i sin kommun och vad som kunde få dem att fytta till Sundbyberg i framtiden. Jag kom på andraplats i idétävlingen med mitt förslag ”Uppe bland molnen”. När jag sedan skulle bestämma ett ämne för mitt examensarbete kändes det inspirarande att fortsätta med en gestaltning för samma plats. Eftersom jag redan var lite insatt i projektet och kommunen under hösten 2015 skulle fortsätta med sitt visionsarbete för området tyckte jag att det skulle vara givande att göra ett mer djupgående gestaltningsförslag för platsen. Jag vill tacka min Handledare Ulla Myhr för all hjälp längs vägen och konsten att få mig tillbaka på rätt spår utan att jag ens själv vetat att jag varit på villovägar. Jag vill tacka alla klasskompisar som kommit med tips och synpunkter på gestaltningsförslaget och Anna Lundvall för några bra och konstruktiva handledningstillfällen, utan dem hade jag inte kommit på idén att bygga en arbetsmodell. 3 KISTA SOLLENTUNA KYRKOGÅRD LÖTSJÖN GOLFÄNGARNA Social DANDERYD DUVBO CENTRALA SUNDBYBERG DUVMOSSEN STORSKOGEN URSVIK ENK N TULEGATAN SUNDBYBERG ÖPINGSVÄGE TORNPARKEN HALLONBERGEN VÄLLINGBY RISSNE KYRKOPARKEN MARABOU JÄRNVÄGSGATAN E SOLNA PARKEN STADSDELSGRÄNS k GESTALTNINGS- o CENTRALA SUNDBYBERG OMRÅDE n GOLFÄNGARNA STUREGATAN k o LÖFSTRÖMS ALLÉ ESPLANADEN NYBERGS TORG s FD.
