Landvetter Södra is a major urban development project in Härryda Municipality, planned as a new mixed-use neighbourhood for up to 25,000 new residents when fully built out. When MARELD began developing an initial concept for a masterplan for sub-area 1A in spring 2023, the consortium had already developed a masterplan for the wider area, together with a vision and six strategic objectives. A key aim of the commission was to translate this vision into the masterplan, while making the most of the qualities of the site and its existing natural landscape. The landscape is intended to become a defining feature and an important part of the identity of the new urban structure.
In autumn 2023, MARELD continued the work with a more detailed study of a smaller area, Norra Berget, as input to the subsequent detailed planning process. During summer and autumn 2024, MARELD developed a landscape value analysis covering the entire area. The analysis provides guidance on the qualities and values found in this particular landscape and how they can be addressed and preserved as the area develops.
Landvetter Södra will be developed within a rich natural landscape, creating exceptional conditions for a high quality of life with direct access to a varied natural environment of forests and lakes. In developing the masterplan, MARELD has taken the qualities of the site as a starting point, allowing the landscape to shape the conditions for a new, site-specific approach to urban development.
